WSSTE at LaGrange Pet Parade
Our community has sponsored the LaGrange Pet Parade for 75 years. Last year, the parade was virtual, and the organizers invited our performing ensembles to submit recorded music for the background music. This year, we participated in the live parade. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to perform together live, outdoors and for the parents of those students to meet and bond. Proceeds from the parade go to sponsor local no kill shelters in the Chicagoland area.
