Car Parades Bring Students And Staff Together From Afar

Press release from Syntax:

June 25, 2020

Herricks staff members and students have hit the ground running with ways to stay connected during the school closure. They have shared in the excitement of reuniting from a distance through car parades formed by administrators and teachers.

Center Street held a parade on May 22, while Searingtown and Denton Avenue did so on May 15 and 8, respectively. Herricks High School staff members made their “honk and hello” rounds through the community’s roads on April 30. The middle school has a plan underway as the last day of school approaches.

Principals, assistant principals and faculty members assembled, in the safety of their vehicles, in their building’s parking lot and formed a line of cars – some of which were decorated with school colors and positive messages. They were greeted by waving families standing at their doors and on their front lawns. Many of the students held signs expressing their thanks and school spirit.
