Parade

This year, our the slogan for the parade is "Give the Burros the Boot." If students have any cowboy boots, or other types of boots they want to bring to school to wear in the parade, they are welcome too! Other things that would go with this slogan would be a cowboy hat if you have one. If you do not have any options for this slogan, its is ok! Students can come as they are as well!

Parade starts at 2 pm!
