Good Evening Iowa Families,

I hope everyone had a great weekend and enjoyed the beautiful weather! This is an exciting week – the last week of school! During this unusual time, as I stated in my email on Friday, we want to celebrate the last day of school by having our teachers/staff do a parade through our neighborhoods. The parade of Iowa teachers/staff will begin at 2:00 pm. Attached is an image showing the route we will be taking and the approximate times we will be in each area. Below I have also provided the written directions of the route. The route was determined based on the locations of our students and places we feel students/families can walk to in order to wave to their teachers. We want to encourage everyone to stand on the sidewalks to cheer as our students and teachers/staff can see each other one more time before the summer. This will be a great event to close out our school year given the circumstances. We hope to see everyone on Thursday!
