One of our favorite holiday traditions! 🎈
After reading Balloons Over Broadway, a book detailing the history of the Macy's Day Parade, many of our elementary schools create their own parade balloons and celebrate with a hallway parade. It’s a day filled with smiles, color and lots of holiday anticipation! Cross Timbers had a great celebration! ⭐️🫧 #ShineYourLight
