Rose Festival Court 2021
THS Juniors and Seniors - Are you interested in participating in the Rose Parade 2021?
See the information for the application and timeline below.
Contact Jacky Jacobo jjacobo@ttsd.k12.or.us for any questions
In the coming weeks, the Rose Festival will host three online Court Student Information Sessions for students considering applying for the Rose Festival Court. In the past we have visited your schools individually to recruit and answer questions for interested students. These sessions will replace that process. Questions about the program and the application process will be covered.
We will also be hosting three online Parent/Student Program Overviews a little closer to the deadline. We've traditionally made attendance mandatory for the program overview/orientation. This year we will highly encourage students to attend this deep dive, and invite their parents. Questions about the judging process, as well as an in depth look at the program benefits and guidelines will be covered.
Please consider sharing the link and dates with all eligible students! All meetings will use the same link. Thank you for your support!
