Blankenburg Parade 2024!

It’s time for one of our favorite days of the year – the Blankenburg Parade! Our teaching artists have been working with 4th grade students this Winter and Spring to create giant puppets that celebrate who they are and what they care about. The rest of the school is getting involved with flag making, movement, chant writing, and drumming workshops to prepare for this joyous celebration of the entire Blankenburg community!
