Attention 5th Grade parents!
Reminder that tomorrow from 4-5pm is the 5th Grade Drive Through Parade at Shoemaker Elem! If you plan to attend, but have not signed up, there is still time. Please indicate on the Signup Genius (sent by teachers) if you'll be attending.
Some important reminders:
*Please enter from Fairview St. and follow along the outlined route
*Please maintain a 5-10 MPH speed
*Remain in your vehicle for the entire parade
*Clearly display a sign for which Middle School you'll be attending

*Make signs, decorate your cars, dress up - be creative!
