ST. LOUIS — Sperreng Middle School students will celebrate local veterans on Wednesday with a socially distanced drive-thru parade.
Starting at 9 a.m., veterans will drive through the school parking lot and will experience music, performances and messages of thanks from the safety of their cars.
“Due to COVID-19 restrictions and safety procedures, we are pivoting this year to show our appreciation and create a memorable moment for our veterans and families,” said Principal Dr. Lauren Boeger. “This is also an opportunity for our students to engage in a learning experience with a relevant, authentic local audience.”
The parade will feature:
- The school band will play music
- Color guard will wave red, white and blue flags
- Cheerleaders and dance team members will perform
- Student leaders will hold thank you signs
All of the students will be socially distanced during the parade.
