On the first day of their Senior year, Sanderson honors our new Seniors with a Breakfast and Caravan to the School.
This year the Senior Breakfast will be held at Trinity Baptist Church at 6am on Monday, August 27, 2018.
All Seniors are invited to attend at no cost to the Senior. Invitations will be mailed home later in the summer.

The Breakfast is followed by a Caravan to the School.
Seniors decorate their cars and all parents are invited to stand along the Caravan Route to cheer them on their way.
A balloon arch greets the students at the school entrance (both car and bus entrances).
Many parents decorate their students parking spaces (the night before with non-permanent chalk and decorations).
It is a fun and special event to honor our new Seniors.

Below is the official path of the caravan.  We want to have the path full of revelers cheering the seniors along to their first day of school.  The parade should start at 6:50 with the kids arriving at SHS around 7am, so choose your spot along the Caravan Route early and help us cheer them on!
