Special Olympics Parade!

Last Friday, we headed to Sharp field for the Special Olympics Parade. We were supposed to have the parade on Monday, but due to inclement weather, it was rescheduled for Friday. We were so excited!

Ms. Malcom and Mrs. Stowe ran into some of their old friends (former students) who are now in middle school. It was so wonderful to see Tyrisha, Tradarius, the triplets (Avia, Kyla, and Tamya), Lexi, and Eric! We sure do love them and miss them very much! It is so wonderful, however, to see them all grown up, happy, and doing well!

DeAsia ran into one of her good friends, Ms. Bell (our Adaptive PE paraprofessional). We all love her!

Ms. Cassandra (Ms. Malcom's best friend) was nice enough to get off of work and drive us in the parade. Ms. Kelli and Baby Blair also met us there! Thank You Ms. Cassandra!

And... the Parade begins!

La'Shawn got to sit up front (in the truck) with Ms. Cassandra. He was quite excited and they enjoyed each other!

Ms. Malcom's class in the parade! That's Mrs. Dubois (our Principal) walking beside our truck!

Another picture of our class in the parade!

Ms. Malcom's mother (who works at Ficquett Elementary) was so kind to have some of her Kindergarten students make signs for the parade. I love the one that Ms. Malcom's mother is holding. It says "We Love Ms. Malcom's Class!". So sweet!

We had lots of people come out and cheer us on. We saw Lucy's mother, grandmother, and aunt!

Baby Blair was all dressed for the occasion. The back of her shirt says "Ms. Malcom's Class Mascot"! And... That, she is! :-)

You can tell, by the smile on Lucy's face, how much fun we had. DeAsia also kept saying "Weee.. This is fun!". Precious!

We were all so proud of Mrs. Dubois (our Principal). It was sooooo HOT on this day. However, she ran, beside our truck, the entire parade! That is one dedicated Principal! Thank you so much Mrs. Dubois for all of your support!

We also saw La'Shawn's mother along the way!
WAY TO GO SOUTH SALEM SPARTANS!!!!!!!!
