DD goes to the local neighborhood school because they offer a very good TK program this year. My 1st grader and 6th grader are at the local charter school. Although the schools are only 1 mile apart, the parades are occurring simultaneously and I can't be at both!
Should I skip the TK parade and just take DD with me to watch the other two? Or skip the bigger kids parade since I can probably drop by their parties later on in the day? I hate these kinds of decisions! At least I don't have to stress about my high schooler's parade. They have a late start day that day!
Thanks!

Could your TK walk in the parade at the other school? I know mine allows younger siblings to walk in the parade. If so, I’d skip the TK one and go to the school with your 1st and 6th grade. Plus, your TK really wouldn’t know what they are missing out on.

They aren't allowed to march (neither do the parents!) But I do think it is quite possible that DD won't know what she is missing! Halloween is a fun (not very much learning going on) type of day. School starts at 8:15, costume parade is at 8:30 and then immediately following the kids have a classroom party. They get out at 11:30, lol.

I would take DD to the big kids. They will notice more. She won’t know the difference.

I agree. Unless she's really into it, I think she'd be just as happy to be with her older siblings. Whenever younger siblings are at our elementary school they seem super thrilled, and they're treated like little celebrities. Their older siblings' classmates love them!

Is this 6th graders last year to have a parade? If so, go to that one.

I have a 5th grader and he would tell me to go to his sister's stuff because I've been through it with him already. So I vote go to the little one's because you'll never have the chance to go to her 1st one again.
