The Annual Early Childhood Kentucky Derby







The annual early childhood Kentucky Derby has become a big event at Wichita Collegiate School. Every year the students learn a little more about this major sporting event that takes place the first Saturday in May at Churchill Downs race track in Louisville, Kentucky.  Our event tries to imitate the actual Kentucky Derby so we have fancy hats, lemonade mint juleps, the singing of "My Old Kentucky Home, homemade binoculars, a grandstand, post positions, a starting gate, jockey hat, winner's circle, and roses for the horse and jockey.  The hats continue to get more creative and beautiful every year. Thank you to everyone who took the time to make a special hat for this event.  It certainly added to the fun! Be sure to check out the link below that has the pictures for your child's class.
