Young community helpers treated to parade
PARAGOULD, Ark. (KAIT) - It was a fun-filled morning for some young Paragould students.
Paragould Primary School hosted its third annual Community Helpers Parade on Tuesday, Oct. 31.
Pre-K through 1st-grade students lined the outside of the building while police cars, fire trucks, farmers, and even the K8 StormTracker drove past.
Paraprofessional Sara Harris said they spent weeks teaching kids the importance of community and being part of the town that they live in.
“We want to show them that it includes our farmers, our teachers, our postal workers,” Harris said. “I mean, really, everybody plays a critical role in making sure the community runs smoothly.”
First-grade teacher Angie Hancock said they’re also celebrating the school’s tenth birthday.
“Well, it’s hard to believe it’s been that long,” Hancock said. “We’ve had lots of sweet little ones come through here during this time.”
