Children sing patriotic songs on the steps of the Colonnade at the conclusion of Children's School's annual Independence Day Parade on July 1, 2016. The parade was held on the Friday before the Fourth of July because the holiday officially falls on a Monday, which would give newcomers to Children's School no time to prepare for the parade. The parade was almost relocated due to rain, but the skies cleared up enough for the children to march to the Colonnade along their traditional parade route. Photo by Carolyn Brown.
