We are pleased to teach, live and share the things that we have in common while celebrating what makes us distinctive.

Participation is encouraged however, it is important to note that this is not a school-based event and no supervision of students is provided. Similarly no transportation of students to and from the event will be offered.

You may walk with us in the parade or ride on the school bus.  Participants are encouraged to wear purple with rainbow accessories.
