A big thank you to the parents who came out today to help kick off the building of our Christmas float! 🎄✨ We're adjusting our build schedule and will now be working on the float Thursday and Friday after school. We’re still in need of Christmas lights and are also looking for plastic tablecloths with felt on one side to line the floor of the float. If you can help, please let us know! Thank you for your support! 😊🎅🎁 #ChristmasFloat #ParadePrep #PantherPride
