March 21, 2018 - On Friday, March 9, Excelsior ISD enjoyed their first annual Vocabulary Parade. Pre-K through third grades picked their vocabulary word and made signs and costumes to represent that word. They were quite creative and did a fantastic job! Parents and grandparents were present for the event. The parade was a huge success and we can plan on another vocabulary parade next year!
