CLARENCEVILLE HOMECOMING!
This is a very exciting week for our High School students as we celebrate the football teams’ Homecoming. Grandview students can participate in Homecoming by marching in the Homecoming Parade next Friday, October 13th. All students are invited with their parents! The POMS teams will march together as will Cub Scouts. Other Grandview students that are not part of these groups can also march in the parade with their parents. The parade begins in the Botsford Elementary parking lot promptly at 5:30pm on Oct 13th. Since the parade is set up in the Botsford parking lot, people can NOT show up and park there. Please park in the High School parking lot and take the shuttle busses to Botsford starting at 4:15pm next Friday. If your child will be marching in the parade you must walk with them and we ask that they wear Grandview spirit wear. Look for the Grandview banner at Botsford so that we can all march together. Everyone is welcome to stay for the football game after the parade. All elementary students must be accompanied by an adult. If you plan on staying for the football game, we ask that Grandview students remain with their parents in the bleachers. Students should not be running around without supervision. Parents must remain with their child in the parade and at the game. There is no supervision available.
