Congratulations to our school!!! Hagood Elementary School WON "Best Marching/Walking" Group in the Pickens Parade last night! We had so much fun and we are so proud of our school. Thank you to our families that were able to join!
Tour of Trees: Check out Mrs. Boiter's 1st graders handmade ornaments!
We are excited about the Pickens Parade tomorrow, December 8th! All "walkers"/participants should arrive between 6-6:30 pm. Find spot #12. Lineup numbers will be marked in chalk on the sidewalk or road.
-From the Parade Committee: "Parade walkers can be dropped off in the circle at the middle school and go back up to Jones Avenue to park your vehicle. There won't be parking in the loop off Jewel Street up to the middle school - but there is a drop off. Thank you all for participating! The end spot of the parade is Pickens Presbyterian Church."
-A map was posted in our last parent newsletter.
-We will not be "meeting" after the parade with such a large group. Once we reach Pickens Presbyterian Church - our float will pull off into their parking lot. Parade participants will then walk back to their vehicles and/or walk to a spot to watch the remainder of the parade if they wish!
-Again, ALL students must be accompanied by an adult/parent throughout the event.
We are looking forward to a fun family/community event and representing Hagood's excellence!

Parents,
If you ordered an ornament from 'Glazed' last month, our orders are in! We will be sending the ornaments home with students tomorrow, Friday - November 10th. Please check your student's bookbag for these as soon as possible, as they are fragile. Thank you!
