Participate in the SPRAGUE FLOAT during Wellesley's Parade - Sunday, May 19th

Please join us on Sunday, May 19th to ride on or alongside the Sprague Float. Wellesley’s theme for this year’s parade is “Celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the Korean War Conflict.” The Sprague Float will be designed to complement this theme appropriately, and the construction of the float will be led by this year’s 5th graders. We’d love any and all Sprague families to march with the float! Here are the details:

Date:  Sunday, May 19th

Time:  Please arrive no later than 12:45 for a 1:00PM start

Place:  Float will be positioned on Woodlawn Avenue closest to the Rt. 16 end of the road

Details: Families with children in grades K-2 must be accompanied by an adult

• Grades 3-5 children may be dropped off at the float location, and, upon arrival, please sign in your child with either Amy Paladino or Kathy Ashraf. Plan on picking your child up at the Wellesley Center train parking lot at approximately 2:45PM
• A helmet is mandatory if your child is planning on riding a bike, rollerblading, or scooting
• In lieu of handing out candy during the route, we will have the kids give out yellow ribbon stickers, and we have PLENTY of them!
• If it’s a sunny/warm day (last year it was 80 degrees), please have your child apply sunscreen prior to start of parade
• Show your school spirit or support for our troops by wearing Sprague t-shirts (or red/white tops) or an armed forces logo shirt such as Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard.
