Travis Forth of July Parade
The parade committee has partnered with our school by having the students draw patriotic pictures and write patriotic stories or poems. They are then displayed outside the school on July 4th. Students also participate in the parade by marching with the school banner, riding bicycles or wearing costumes. The parade committee provides free cotton candy and snow cones to all of the children in the school yard. The reviewing stand is located in front of the school.
