If you're one of the millions watching the iconic Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade right now... Cicero West Elementary School created a replica parade of their very own!

Our students and staff took the Thanksgiving Spirit to a whole new level:
 🙌 Hand-crafted, wildly creative balloons soaring above cheering students 
🦄 Staff members transforming into full-on inflatable characters and dancing down the route 
🎉 Classrooms lining the sidewalks like it was 34th Street in NYC 
🎅 And then — the moment that gave everyone goosebumps — SANTA. CLAUS. HIMSELF. arriving to wrap it all in pure holiday wonder 

Today, we're thankful for teachers who dream big, for students who believe in magic, and for a community that shows up with full hearts. 

From our Cicero District 99 family to yours — May your day be filled with joy, wonder, and all the magic you can carry. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
