On Friday, May 15, Blue Dragon Academy will be hosting a Honk and Wave for its PreK graduates and their Class of 2020 employees. The event, which will be held between 8:30-9:00 a.m., encourages people to drive past BDA and to honk in celebration. Blue Dragon Academy is located on Center Avenue and 1st Street. Graduates will be lined up to wave back, so everyone is encouraged to head over on Friday morning!
Next, on Sunday May 17, St. Rose of Lima is hosting a Honk and Wave to congratulate the graduates of their 2020 senior class from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Then, on Tuesday May 19, a parade to celebrate the official last day of school will be held. (See map below.)
Teachers, support staff, administrators, school buses, and emergency vehicles will start the parade by heading east on Fourth St at 6:30 pm. They will circuit around the city, turning south to 3rd St on 486th, then heading west to Canyon, south to 2nd St, west to Center, north to 4th again, then south on Main. From Main they will turn onto Essex and Railroad, then east on Dows, south on Frank. They will head east on Sarah C Street, and turn north on Main. The final leg will be from Main to Leslie, Leslie to Lacey, past the ball fields, then turn north on Center to end on 5th Street and Center.
Teachers from all building levels will parade through town to send their kids off to summer with a wave instead of a usual high five or hug.
