St. Patrick's Day Parade Info

 

Marchers should assemble one hour prior to the start of the parade (same location as last year) @ 11:00 a.m. at the marshalling area (see below).
The float is provided for the smaller children, and older students and parents typically walk the parade route. Students who plan to participate in the parade should wear their school uniforms.  This is not a DROP OFF event... parents need to stay with their children or make arrangements with other adults to supervise their children. This is a great opportunity to showcase our school. This year's parade committee estimates 300,000 + will be there to see the parade.
