To best align ourselves with the Tulip time mission statement as well as with the goals here at Holland Christian, our elementary students continue to be given two options for dressing up and walking in this year's Kinderparade. Our students will be given the option of walking in either our “tulip” section of the parade or our “Dutch heritage” section. The whole of our two groups walking together will be a celebration of our “community”.

If your student chooses to opt into the “tulip” section of our parade, your child will carry a tulip (provided by the school)and then be asked to dress as a gardener based around our Walk-a-thon t-shirt. This gardener costume might include gardening boots and gloves, overalls, a wide-brimmed hat, etc. Anything you have handy at home that helps your child look like a busy gardener tilling the tulips will fit the part perfectly! We do ask that your child not bring extra items that need to be carried. 

Students who opt into the “Dutch heritage” portion of our student body will wear their own dutch costume and carry the parade props our students have carried in the past.

*Please fill out one form for your 1st-4th grade child that you have at South Side and/or Pine Ridge by Monday, March 25.  If you have any questions, please email Dinah Pereira or Christy Haig.
