This year has been very exciting for my Dad as he was selected as Arcadia Unified School District’s “Teacher of the Year” and then went on to be selected as Los Angeles County Teacher of the Year. He is one of 16 teachers to bear the title out of 75,000 educators in LA county. It has been quite an honor for him and he has been honored on several different occasions. Most recently he was selected by Arcadia’s festival of bands to be the Grand Marshal of their parade. We were so lucky to be able to ride along with him in the parade. Here is the program with an article about him.
Before the parade we enjoyed some donuts and fruit.
In the parking lot they had lined up some really cool old antique cars along with this neat fire engine. The kids enjoyed taking pictures on it.
Grampy looked so cute and “Grand” in his hat!
We were lucky to ride in a Foothill transit mini bus. (think golf cart bus) The kids were so excited to be able to be part of a parade. Chris and I weren’t planning on being in the parade but since there was room we decided to ride along too!
We were positioned right in front of the Arcadia High band which is larger than most college bands.
Maddie had fun waving to all the people along the parade route. It was great to see so many people who love and admire my dad yelling out to him and congratulating him.
What an honor it was to be part of this parade and seeing my Dad honored. I am so proud of him and all his accomplishments. He is an amazing teacher and an even more wonderful father!
