Students who drive – it would be to your advantage to travel in a group of 3-4 and leave a car waiting for you at Huffines Park. After the parade, you can coordinate driving back to Berkner to pick up the other car(s). Students who do not drive – make arrangements to be picked up at Huffines Park. Remember – this is a required event. Attendance will be taken. Please arrive on time with your required attire and materials. When you arrive, please check in with Mr. Reyna.
