Burleson educators take part in neighborhood parade to see students and families
The coronavirus pandemic has closed schools for over a month and Gov. Greg Abbott has ordered that schools will remain stay closed for the remainder of the 2019-20 academic year.
Kids are missing their teachers and friends, teachers are missing their kids.
You get the idea.
Burleson ISD’s Clinkscale Elementary wanted to celebrate its students with the Clinkscale Crusade Parade on Thursday as principals, teachers, past students and school mascot “Jacket Junior” took part in a parade through the school neighborhoods to see students and families.
“Our hearts need to see our kids more than ever. They have been working extremely hard and we are proud of their efforts on a daily basis,” principal Lauri Allen said.
Students waited in their driveways, holding up signs as cars drove by.
“We had no idea the response we would receive. To say last night was amazing is an understatement. Families lined the streets to see their teachers, holding signs with amazing words of encouragement, love and sentiments that I know we all needed,” said assistant principal Kim Cassidy.
“A highlight of the night was when we turned down one street and parents hoisted a giant sign across the street that said, We miss y’all. It was awesome.”
