Check out the sneak preview!
To the right is a 3 foot model of the historic Whittier Bank of America Building. This set, along with models of the the Whittier Train Depot and the Bailey Post Office will be rotating on top of the giant 4 foot gift-wrapped package. That combined with a 7 panel mural of buildings of our community neighbors completes our float. The float will be unveiled the night of the Christmas Program.
Important Times to Remember
On Friday, the Christmas program begins at 7:00 PM. Please have your child in their classroom by 6:40 PM. The 5th -8th graders will assemble in the Kidzone room.
The students should wear their "Sunday Best." 2nd, 3rd & 4th graders will be performing a special number and have already been told what to wear.
The program will only be about 45 minutes this year, as many are involved in the parade the next morning. The PTF will have a table set up for parents to purchase shirts and get information about the parade the following morning.
PARADE INFORMATION
We have been assigned Division 4, #10. The staging area is on Camilla Street, East of Greenleaf and North of Hadley. The float must be in position by 8 AM and all students should be in place and in costume by 8:30 AM. The parade is scheduled to begin at 10 AM. We are recommending that you park near the Community Center by Joe Miller field (the end of the parade route). We also recommend carpooling from the school as much as possible. Parking will be limited and difficult to find. The city does close off most of the streets by 8 AM.
Some information and maps can be found on the Uptown Association's Website.
