Tippecanoe Valley High School Principal Brandon Kresca issued the following information related to Friday's Senior Parade:
Dear Valley Family,
Last week we announced that on May 22nd, there would be a senior parade through the towns of Mentone and Akron. In order to properly thank our seniors for the impact they have had on Tippecanoe Valley Schools, we not only need you to assist in celebrating our seniors properly, but we need your help following all directions/requirements detailed in this plan- especially maintaining proper social distancing measures. We will celebrate our seniors, but only in a way that is safe for both student, staff and our community.
