‼️URGENT REQUEST TO ALL GOOD HOPE EATATES NEIGHBORS:

There are ❄️road trucks❄️ today going through our community trying to treat the roads before the storm.

Many of our streets are “tight.”
Some are not able to make it through because vehicles are parked on both sides of the streets causing further “narrowing”.

Please move vehicles to driveways and/or to one side of the street. Perhaps reach out to your neighbors, coordinating which direction would be best for your part of the neighborhood.

Once the storm passes, this will allow plows to easily make their ways through as well as any emergency vehicles .

Everyone being mindful and taking such considerate preparations will greatly help!

Thanks and Be safe !

Sorry, this took a bit to get out.... BUT...
a BIG THANK YOU to EVERYONE who made this year's JULY 4th BIKE PARADE & PARTY a successful, fun event!
From early morning set up, bike decorating station, road/traffic duty, party "managers", the concession stand, the games, the face painting, the magician to the final clean up.... THANK YOU TO ALL THE VOLUNTEERS who made this possible!

Attached is a link from Good Hope Estates resident & photographer, Phil Powell. Every year, he kindly takes photos of this event! As you look over the photos and want a good quality print or download of any of the photos, he suggests going through the website.

IF ANYONE HAS MORE PHOTOS FROM THE EVENT, please feel free to post them here under the comments so we all can see!

There was a great amount of feedback on the FUTURE EVENTS suggestion board provided during the event. Top Suggestions:

*PARK EVENTS - such as Bingo, Trivia, Game nights, Popsicles in the park, etc.

*ART WALK- Neighborhood artists display, demo, offer mini class on their porch, patio, driveway, carport, garage, etc.

*PORCH PATIO CONCERTS - Neighborhood musicians perform mini concerts on their patio, porch, driveway, carport, garage, etc.
(similar to Four Corners/Woodmoor neighborhood did for "WOODMOORstock!")

*COOK OFF - possible held at Good Hope Rec Center or Spencerville Park Activity Building.

*DINNER WITH NEIGHBORS - bring chairs, tables, food, drinks, etc., and have a large dinner party together!

*FIREPITS - this could be something done at the MAYDALE center.

If anyone of these sound fun, please reach out to us! As with any event, GHECA needs help to make it happen. More hands means less work!

Again, THANK YOU ALL for making this year's JULY 4th so much fun!!!!

Do you have a child who will be 5 years old on or before September 1, 2025? Do you know a community member who does? Let them know that Kindergarten registration has begun for next school year.

It is incredibly important that you register your child ASAP so that MCPS can allot the correct staffing to Cloverly so our children can begin the year with correct class sizes and number of teachers.

Please see the MCPS Kindergarten registration website for more information on what documents are needed and how to register.

We can't wait to welcome our newest Cubs to the Cloverly family!

¿Tiene un hijo que cumplirá 5 años el 1 de septiembre de 2025 o antes? ¿Conoce a algún miembro de la comunidad que lo tenga? Hágales saber que la inscripción de Kindergarten ha comenzado para el próximo año escolar.

Es increíblemente importante que usted registre a su niño CUANTO ANTES de modo que MCPS pueda asignar el personal correcto a Cloverly de modo que nuestros niños puedan comenzar el año con tamaños correctos de la clase y el número de profesores.

Por favor, consulte el sitio web de MCPS Kindergarten registro para obtener más información sobre qué documentos son necesarios y cómo inscribirse.

¡No podemos esperar para dar la bienvenida a nuestros nuevos Cachorros a la familia Cloverly!
