Paris, Tenn.–W.G. Rhea Elementary School has been selected as the featured school of the 12th Annual Holly Jolly Electric Christmas Parade in Paris, and they are bringing plenty of Christmas smiles, courtesy of their K-2 student body. The parade is scheduled for Saturday, December 8 at 5 pm, immediately following the Downtown Christmas Festival.
Mrs. Santa Claus made a special visit to the school to tell them the good news.
“When I say our students are bringing Christmas smiles, some of them will be bringing those terrific, ‘All I want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth’ kind of smiles,” said Principal Chris Hudgins of his five to eight-year-old student body. This is a great age for children to begin participating in community events such as the Holly Jolly Electric Christmas Parade and we will be bringing our ‘A’ game to the parade.
“Because our students are so young, this will be the first parade many of them have ever attended, so we want it to be a stand-out event for them,” said Assistant Principal Lynda Searcy. “Mama Claus visited them earlier in the school year to tell them that Rhea had been chosen as the featured school and they were so thrilled.”
