Participants -- Awesome Job! Thank you for putting together such a fantastic show.
Parents -- Thank you for bringing your kids to and from every practice and walking along the sidelines to be our mobile cheerleaders! Kudos also to the K-2 parents who worked endless hours on their child's puppy costume for the parade.
A special thank you goes out to the parade team for their tireless effort.
This list is long but this wouldn't be possible without all their help.
