And here's the best part... YOU are invited to be part of it!

We would love to fill the parade with our entire River Valley community! Put together a float, bring out a classic car, decorate a vehicle, drive a tractor, gather a walking group, or come up with something completely your own.

🐾 Youth groups & teams
🐾 Community clubs & organizations
🐾 Classic and unique vehicles
🐾 Tractors & farm equipment

🐾 A Quick Morning Reminder for Our Wolverine Families! ❤️🖤

As we continue settling into the school year, we want to share an important reminder about morning drop-off and supervision times.

For student safety, please make sure students are not dropped off before staff supervision begins:

🏫 Secondary School
• Supervision begins at 7:30 AM
• First bell at 7:55 AM
• Classes begin at 8:00 AM

🏫 Elementary School
• Supervision begins at 7:40 AM
• First bell at 8:00 AM
• Classes begin at 8:10 AM

Students who arrive before these times are at school without staff supervision, so we appreciate your help in making sure everyone arrives at the appropriate time.

Thank you for helping us keep our Wolverines safe and for working alongside us to make mornings run smoothly! ❤️🖤🐾

One Pack. One Journey.
