With the Northport Public School homecoming parade set for Saturday morning fast approaching, people can expect to see decorated floats designed not only by the high schoolers, but also from the middle and elementary school kids.
The district’s Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) coordinated the middle and elementary school float effort to bring together more of the school community and its youth during a festive time of the year.
“That was one of the goals that the PTO set last year — We wanted to see if we could increase the homecoming parade and kind of add to it and bring more school spirit… and fun throughout the town,” said Northport PTO member Laura Cavendish. “The kids really enjoy it (the parade), and we’re hoping to get a bunch of people out to see and kind of build up the excitement for them.”
