Grapevine Parade of Lights
The Grapevine Chamber and City of Grapevine, with the support of Grapevine-Colleyville ISD, work together to create the Annual Grapevine Parade of Lights, the largest lighted Christmas parade in North Texas.
Our PTA and DUDES Club will be building a float for the Parade of Lights. Soon you will notice a large trailer parked in our parking lot while parents volunteer their time and work with Mr. Fisher to build the float.
More information will be coming about this event but please plan on attending the parade if you are able to. This will be the first entry for BCE and we will have lots of students and staff riding the float in the parade.
Watch our BCE PTA social media pages for ore information volunteering to work on the float.
Mark your calendars for the evening of December 1st for this exciting event.
Your child has the chance to be in the parade!!!!
From November 2nd to November 18th, campus administration will be tracking student tardies. Each day that a student is in class by 7:40 am will count as a ticket in a raffle to ride the float in the December 1st Parade of Lights. This means that each student who is on time each day automatically gets 13 chances to have their name drawn. Campus administration will notify the winners and their parents by the end of the day on November 18th.
