Hemphill ISD held their Grant Parade on Monday, May 16th, with much fanfare! Teachers and students, with big smiles and fingers in their ears, filled classroom doorways as the parade of several teachers and staff (one teacher with a megaphone blaring a siren sound), and a student banging away on a snare drum, passed through the hallways of school. Congratulations to all the teachers. Pictured with Education Foundation members: Veronica White, Sheilah Martin, Lawandra Smith, Stephanie Wilkerson, Jean Ann Whittington and administrators Marc Griffin and Jeremy McDaniel.

West Sabine Seniors continued a tradition by holding their Seniors Parade, finishing in the school parking lot with a water balloon fight. With students from all three campuses on hand to witness the fun, three trucks from the Pineland VFD provided extra ammunition while cooling the concrete. Fun was had by all.
