A big thanks to Mrs. Perry for allowing her students to check out to participate and go watch a real team player. Thank you!!
I hope Railyn won’t have to wear a helmet…
I know at least the DCT Class and Channel 3 are throwing candy, and I’m sure some of the others are too. Bring your bags!
Does anyone know if they are throwing candy?
We are all so excited about the parade and all the activities that are going on for Homecoming!! Can’t wait!!
GOOOOO CHIEFS!!!
Always a cloud of rain hanging over our area on Friday’s when the students want to celebrate and enjoy something positive. So frustrating!
I am deligently praying that it will hold off and let all enjoy the parade that everyone has worked so hard to give the community.
Ooooooohhhhhhh!!!! Wish I could be there to watch the parade. It sounds so exciting! Makes me homesick and filled with nostalgia. I’m so happy for all of the students & participants.
Can’t wait for this exciting event-Go Chiefs Go!!!
