2024 FHES Halloween Parade Float & Participation - Sign Up Today to Walk or Contribute to the Float!

When:

The Town of Vienna's 78th Annual Halloween Parade is Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2024, 7 p.m. on Maple Avenue

What:

The FHES PTA is helping get the word out about Flint Hill Elementary School's annual tradition of marching in the Vienna Halloween Parade (more details here: https://www.viennava.gov/residents/concerts-and-events/halloween-parade). Our school has a long history of representing Falcon Pride in the this fun annual tradition that makes the Vienna community so great! Mr. Bechtle is helping to organize students who are interested in walking in the parade this year (see the permission slip form linked below) and reserved FHES a spot again this year.

Unlike in prior years, we haven't built out our float yet, and are looking for any creative builders who may be interested in helping.

Theme:

This year the Vienna Parade theme is: ”Party Like it’s 1999!” The FHES theme this year is Toy Story.

How You Can Get Involved:

> Help build the Float: E-mail president@fhespta.org and jjbechtle@fcps.edu to help out with the float! We will likely keep the float design very simple this year and looking for folks who are handy with basic design, painting and carpentry skilll for a "hayride" type float with FHES signage.

> Help donate items for the Float: We need bales of hay, basic building supplies, paint - consider donating any items to help go towards the float build!

> March in the Parade: Complete the permission slip available here for your Falcons and return to the FHES front office. Students and their parents aer encouraged to use their imagination and come dressed up as their favorite Toy Story character. “To infinity and beyond!” If you come in a costume, we might ask you to ride on Flint Hill’s Hayride. Costumes are encouraged but not required. The more the merrier, any Halloween costume will work!
