To all of our kids, teachers, parents, graduates and friends:

A huge round of thanks to you all for helping to make this a memorable parade. You did a great job of showing support for and pride in our school! Please enjoy this slideshow at the link below and feel free to share the photos with family and friends: http://picasaweb.google.com/108769482399363776224/OrcasIslandSchoolsJuly3rdParade2010?feat=directlink.

Special thanks to Esther Doss, 10th grader, and daughter of our Librarian, Maria Doss, for designing the cool banners; to Scott Lancaster of Orcas Island Hardware for the paint; to Maria and Ray Doss and Kelsey and Keith Whitaker for painting them; to Mandy Randolph for having the idea to have the kids carry flags with their grades on them, and for doing a wonderful job of getting kids and parents to come and organizing everybody that day; to Julian Glasser for coming back to Orcas for the Summer and jumping right in to helping organize friends for the Parade; to Justin Paulsen for thinking of the orange crane (how great was that?) and to the YES! Committee for its tireless work so we can PASS THIS BOND!
