๐ Balloons Over Broadway: Spectacle of Bulldog Spirit! ๐พ
Move over, Macyโs! Wylie East Elementary hosted its own spectacular Balloons Over Broadway Parade, bringing creativity, community, and a whole lot of Bulldog spirit to the halls. Led by the Librarian Grand Marshal, the parade featured first graders proudly showcasing their handmade balloon designs. From paper sketches to larger-than-life creations, these young Bulldogs turned imagination into reality, delighting their peers who lined the hallways to cheer, wave, and exchange high-fives. Even Santa made a special appearance, bookending the parade in festive style.
While the Macyโs Parade may be 1,682 miles away in New York City, the excitement here rivaled any Big Apple celebration. Our Bulldog creationsโcrafted with heart, glitter glue, and boundless enthusiasmโmay not have floated over skyscrapers, but they soared in spirit. Forget helium balloons; this parade ran on cheers, pride, and the magic of young minds bringing their visions to life.
As the final float passed and Santa waved goodbye, it was clear that this was more than a parade; it was a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and Bulldog pride. Wylie East Elementary proved that you donโt need to be in Manhattan to create memories that will last a lifetime. Go Bulldogs! ๐๐พ
