I want to give a huge thank you to Sara Palamaruk for the work during the planning and execution of the annual Kendall Labor Day parade. All of that hard work has paid off. Thank you for inviting us to the parade. I know planning events like this is painstaking, time-consuming and thankless. The academy staff has expressed to me to pass on, “Thanks, Sara.” Our cadets were excited to show their talents that they had been practicing. Personally, I was impressed by how the community and onlookers showed their satisfaction to the kids by applauding and cheering them. Our intention is to be back to Kendall in 2018, schedule permitting.
