Centerville Families,

The Centerville Character Parade for grades PreK-4 will take place on Thursday, October 31, at 2:30P.M., and we welcome you to come and watch the fun! Parents may enter the building starting at 2:20PM and watch the parade from inside or outside the building (weather permitting). I have included a link to a map that highlights the parade route and viewing locations. No matter where you decide to watch the parade, you will see all grade levels as they will make a loop.

Should you choose to take your child(ren) home with you, following the parade, we ask all parents to wait until the end of the parade and follow the below Character Parade Sign Out directions below. With over 500 kids and staff traveling through the hallways, we need to limit additional traffic or possible disruptions. There will be an announcement when the parade has ended to make things easy.

Finally, please remember that kids’ costumes should not need parent / adult assistance to wear and not be violent or scary. If you question whether an outfit is appropriate, please err on the kid-friendly side, as our preschool kids will also be participating.

Thank you for helping make the event successful.

Go Cougars!

Mike Macken
