-Parade Details-
It is a great honor that our run club
was invited to participate in the Waterbury Parade on May 16th. Our
kids have been working very hard and people are taking notice. It is my hope that our entire run club will
be present for the parade. Students must
find their own transportation to and from the parade. We invite all the families to come watch the
parade. I would like to thank the parents in advance
for allowing your son/daughter to come and march.
