🎈 Balloons Over Broadway Comes to Hillsboro Elementary! 🎈
Ms. Hardesty’s class has been learning all about Balloons Over Broadway and the history of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. They discovered that Santa Claus is always the last to appear in the parade, signaling the start of the holiday season! 🎅✨
After their study, our creative students designed their own balloons and hosted a parade right here at school! 🥳 It was an amazing way to combine history, art, and fun. Great job, students, for bringing this festive tradition to life! 🍂🦃
