What an incredible day we had competing against three of our fellow Carrington Academy schools! It was a day filled with teamwork, school spirit, friendly competition, and outstanding sportsmanship. Our team gave it their all, cheered each other on, and represented Carrington Windermere with pride. Check out the recap below!

Decorate your child's bike with streamers and fun decor! Bring the bike to school decorated and the students will ride their bike at school for everyone to see! We encourage students to bring bikes/trikes/riding toys, decorated for the event to participate in the parade! These items are not required to participate and those who do not bring an item to ride will walk in the parade. We are also encouraging students to wear red, white and blue.

We will have designated sidewalk space for each classroom for dropping off that morning - Toddlers and up. Please ensure items are labeled with first name, last initial.

Infants will ride in the school baby buggy during the parade.

The front parking lot will be blocked off beginning at 9:45am as we get ready for the parade to start at 10 am. The side parking lot will be available for parking and/or dropping riding items off. ALL RIDING ITEMS NEED TO BE DROPPED OFF during morning drop off. If you are attending and if the parking lot is full when you arrive, overflow parking is available across the street.
