16th Annual NAACP DeKalb King Day Parade

Attention DECA Parents, Scholars, Faculty, and Staff:

DECA will be participating in the 16th Annual NAACP DeKalb King Day Parade. As a participant, we will be walking in the parade on Monday, January 15th in celebration of the life and legacy of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We are excited to once again be one of several DeKalb County High Schools participating. ALL scholars, student organizations, parents, faculty, and staff are invited to join us in walking the parade route. All participants will receive three (3) volunteer hours for your participation.

ALL PARADE PARTICIPANTS walking with the school should arrive at the church on or before 11:00am. Please dress appropriately for the weather and please wear your DECA spirit apparel. The PARADE will begin at 12:00pm at Green Pastures Christian Ministries, Inc., on Flat Shoals Parkway and travels from Flat Shoals to MLK Jr. High School. Transportation assistance from faculty, staff, and parents will be requested to ensure scholars return from MLK Jr. High School back to Green Pastures.

For any questions or concerns please see Mr. Wilson as soon as possible. Looking forward to spreading the word about the EXCELLENCE that is DECA!!!
