Grace E. Stewart Elementary School staff love and miss their students and those feelings are definitely reciprocated.
Friday evening, anxious students and their families waited outside their homes to catch a glimpse of their favorite Stewart staff members during the Stewart May Day Parade.
Fifty Stewart staff and their families decorated vehicles and drove the 17-mile parade route through the south Salina neighborhoods in which the school's students live. The event took two and a half hours, Erin McCorkle, assistant principal told Salina Post Friday evening.
"We miss seeing our kiddos and wanted to show them how much we care and love them. May Day parade seemed like a great time to do a parade," McCorkle said.
The parade was a hit with those who watched.
"This was amazing to see the excitement of the kiddos," parade watcher Savannah Munding told Salina Post.
Following are a selection of photos collected by McCorkle and shared with Salina Post, unless otherwise noted.
