August 28, 2023 Temporary Change in Homecoming Parade Route for Purcell Public Schools for SY24 Purcell Public Schools wants to inform everyone of a temporary change in the Homecoming parade route this year due to ongoing construction on Main Street. The traditional parade route will be unavailable, necessitating an alternate path to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all participants and spectators. The Homecoming parade, a cherished tradition that brings together students, families, and community members to celebrate school spirit and unity, will occur on September 15th at 1:30 p.m. While we regret any inconvenience caused by this change, we are committed to providing an enjoyable experience for all involved. The new parade route will begin at Van Buren & 3rd St. It will head south on 3rd St. and turn east on Monroe St. The final turn will be on 2nd St. and it will head north, concluding at Conger Field. This revised path has been carefully planned in collaboration with local authorities to minimize disruption while ensuring the safety of participants and spectators alike. We encourage everyone attending the Homecoming parade to familiarize themselves with the new route ahead of time. We also invite everyone to join us for a community-wide pep assembly that will follow the parade at Conger Field. We will all gather on the Home side stands. Come help us celebrate our Homecoming Court and cheer on the Dragons to victory! Purcell Public Schools would like to express our gratitude for your understanding and flexibility during this temporary adjustment. We remain dedicated to delivering memorable experiences that foster school pride while prioritizing everyone's well-being. Thank you for your continued support as we navigate these changes together. We look forward to celebrating a fantastic Homecoming event with our entire community! Proud to be a Dragon! Sheli McAdoo, Ph.D.
