BULLCOK CREEK HOMECOMING PARADE
Friday, September 20th @ 4:30 p.m.
We would like to invite you and your child to participate in the Bullock Creek Homecoming Parade. The parade begins at the corning of Patterson and Stewart Roads. Parade entries will be lined up on Patterson Road and will proceed down Stewart to Badour, and will end at the high school parking lot. You may park at the high school parking lot and take the school bus shuttle to the parade line up on Patterson Road. The shuttle will run from 3:40–4:00 p.m. and the parade will begin at 4:30 p.m.
Bullock Creek and Pine River will be grouped together. You are welcome to bring candy to hand out along the parade route. The parade route is about two miles long, so please make a determination if your young child can walk the route. Or, you may want to pull your child in a small wagon. You are responsibile for your child throughout the entire parade route.
All Pine River Elementary students are to be accompanied by a parent or adult arranged by the parent. Therefore, Bullock Creek Elementary students will not be checking out at the end of the parade as they will already be with their parent or adult. It will be a fun and enjoyable evening.
If you have questions, please contact Mrs. Krueger or Mrs. Bradford.
