Third Graders Host a Creative Thanksgiving Parade!

Third-grade students at Northpoint Elementary combined creativity, technology, and holiday spirit to host a spectacular Thanksgiving parade inspired by the iconic Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The event brought joy and excitement to the entire school community.

The third graders designed unique “floats” using balloons attached to cups, which they placed atop small robots. Each robot was programmed to follow a carefully planned parade route through the school. Students from other grades lined the hallways, eagerly cheering on the colorful and imaginative floats as they passed by.

Adding a festive surprise, the grand finale featured robots decorated as Santa Claus and his reindeer, spreading holiday cheer as they concluded the parade. 

This innovative project not only celebrated the season but also integrated STEM learning. By combining artistic expression with robotics and coding, the third graders showcased their skills while sharing a fun and creative experience with their peers.

Kudos to Northpoint’s third-grade students for an unforgettable parade that truly embodied the spirit of the holidays!
