In the event of inclement weather, we will email families if we need to move our parade inside, but families are still welcome to attend.

Gator Patrol Bus - 4:30-6:30pm
We want to see your Gator spirit all throughout our neighborhoods. Decorate your houses! Get all the orange and green you can find and go wild! Show Stafford that Garrisonville is not only the BEST school, but the most spirited one as well!
Our staff, along with Wally Gator, will be riding through our neighborhoods on a bus on Thursday, February 29th 4:30-6:30 pm to wave to our Gators and see your awesome decorations. During our route, our staff will have some GATORIFIC items to toss to students. We ask that you remind your Gators to stay on the side of the road or in your yard until the bus clears the area so we all stay safe.
Please note that we are NOT able to go down each and every street so you are most likely to find us on the main route through the subdivisions. Be ready for us to come by!
You can find our turn by turn directions and a map of our route by clicking on the links.
Be sure to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter for updates as we move through our route!
Gator Rapper Performance
We will be sure to post video clips to share what a great time our Gators are having with families!
Reptile World Show
One of the most exciting parts of the assembly is when our Gators get the opportunity to touch a real, live snake.
A big thank you to PTO for arranging this opportunity for our Gators!
Due to limited capacity in our Gator Dome, we are not able to accommodate families during the Reptile World show.
