Tulip Festival Float Riders
Thank you to everyone who signed up to ride floats. We are still looking for 1-2 adults to ride on Saturday afternoon. You can signup through the link below.

Students are asked to wear Dutch costumes for the afternoon parades. In the evenings, they may wear their theme T-shirts or any OCCS apparel. 

Please use the attached link to sign up or make changes if needed: https://signup.com/go/aPhhjBZ

Note: Friday afternoon riders are limited as we will have some Tiger PAWS / Monica Associates on the float in honor of the 100 year anniversary. If you are interesting riding or walking with the float on Friday afternoon, please contact the anniversary committee by email at tigerpaws@orangecitychristian.net.

For the Saturday evening parade, we would like to invite any OCCS supporters to walk with the float. Parents, grandparents, constituents, students - put on your OCCS apparel and join us for the final parade. We will put some of the younger children on the float and the rest of the participants will walk behind the float. No sign up needed for Saturday.

Thank you for participating!!
Library Books
Students and parents, please return any library books that you have at home. We are working on collecting all the books for the summer. Check your email to see if your child has any books out. Thank you!
