Thanksgiving Parade

Before Thanksgiving break, all of the lower school students participated in the Lower School Thanksgiving Parade. Since first grade recently completed a big project, we did not make floats. We did open the parade by performing the annual Turkey Pokey, it’s a bit of a tradition in my class. First grade did carry around a little flag they had made with what they were thankful for and participated the parading. The second through fourth grade students each made a float that represented something they are grateful for and on the Friday before break they paraded them around campus. It was a successful parade as family members, the preschoolers, kindergarteners, and many middle school students watched all of the lower school students march through a part of campus sharing their thankfulness. It was a typical feast, but we all gathered and shared a thankful heart with one another.
