Dear Brahma Friends and Family:
This is Year 2 of March of the
Maroon! As you know, East Bernard is steeped in wonderful traditions—some that
have not waivered forever. Tradition is not just meant to preserve the past,
but also to pass on the flame! On Monday, May 22, 8:30 a.m., we will have our March
of the Maroon, which is a parade of 2017 seniors paired with our
kindergartners, Class of 2029! It’s the beginning and the end of the walk as a
Brahma, and we want you to share it with us.
Here’s the plan:
Seniors and Kindergarteners will
be dressed in their caps and gowns. Band will be leading and following, playing
the Fight Song, another big tradition here in EB! The drop off point will be at
the Junior High School gym, where we will all be there cheering them on! Are
you a Brahma graduate? If you are, stop by the table in the junior high gym
foyer. Pick up a page and fill in your year of graduation. You will be asked to
hold these up and be recognized during the assembly.
If you want to take a seat in the
Junior High gym, you may, or if you want to see the procession, here is the
route: start
in cafeteria, old elementary, new elementary, junior high, high school wing, Naiser
building, main high school building, to end in the Jr. High Gym. *If you do watch the procession, we
only ask one thing of you: once the procession starts into the JH gym, please
do not break up the line to get into the gym. Either be ahead of them, or after
the line and band are completely into the gym. We will have a guest
speaker, recognition of EBHS graduates, past, present, and future, and then sing
the school song together.
If you have any questions, please
email Ruth Ellen Sharp at ruthellen.sharp@ebisd.org
or Melissa Janecek at Melissa.janecek@ebisd.org,
or Stephanie Guthman at Stephanie.guthman@ebisd.org.
We’d love to have you celebrate this
special time in the lives of our Brahmas, the new ones and the seasoned ones.
Wear your favorite colors: maroon and white!
See you then!
