Get ready for one of our favorite traditions — the Storybook Parade!
👦🏽 Upper House will kick things off at 9:40 a.m., completing two laps around the school. They’ll exit through the 1st-grade hallway and re-enter through the front of the school. Once finished, Upper House students will line the halls to cheer on the next group!
👧🏻 Lower House will begin at 10:00 a.m., following the same route and completing two laps as well.
Come celebrate creativity, reading, and imagination as our students bring their favorite storybook characters to life! 💫
📄 More details can be found on the event flyer!
