Show your school spirit and ride on an ACA float in the July 4th Parade with third-grade teacher, Ms. Vanecek, and Intermediate Cafeteria Staff, Ms. Januta. The winning bidder and up to two students can ride on the blue and green decorated float with the staff members and members of our Griffin Tribe. A parent must remain on the float with their students. Additional family members can walk behind the float as long as they are accompanied by an adult. A longtime Arlington tradition, this year's parade will be Thursday, July 4th. Parade details have not been released but participants must be prepared to arrive at the parade staging area early prior to the parade start time. In years past, the parade began at 9:00 am.
