Dear Patriot Elementary Families,
We need YOU to BE the parade!
On Wednesday afternoon, April 15th, we’re inviting our families and community members to walk, drive, ride bikes—or even do cartwheels—as part of a special Purple Up! Parade created just for our students.
All of our students from Patriot Elementary and Carson Middle Schools will be lining the route, soaking in all the love and celebration as we honor their military-connectedness.
This parade is FOR them—and it only happens with YOU.
Come one, come all! Let’s show up in purple and create an AMAZING, joy-filled parade our students will never forget.
What: Month of the Military Child Parade
When: 12:10 on Wednesday, April 15th.
Where: Begins at Carson Middle School and ends at Patriot Elementary School.
Who: Parents and Community Members create the parade and students line the sidewalks to take it all in!
Why: To celebrate and honor our military-connected students.
Note: Car, bike and stroller decorating from 9:30 - 11:30 in the Carson Middle School Parking Lot - all supplies will be provided!
Remember: To RSVP so that PTO can organize all parade participants.
We can’t wait to celebrate together! Thanks for supporting our military-connected students.
