Public Safety marched in the annual Old Settlers Parade on Sept. 9. During the parade, public safety members marched throughout downtown Olathe from Kansas Street and Loula Street. From there it travels east to Water Street and North to Park Street. It then headed east and ended at Buchanan Street
Some public safety students had never experienced being in the Old Settlers Parade but they didn’t have much to prepare before they participated in the parade to represent their school.
Freshman Micaela Brashear shared that this was her first time as a member of public safety being in the parade.
“We didn’t have to rehearse or anything but to prepare for it I told myself there is going to be a lot of people there and that I don’t need to worry because we’re all there together as a team,” Brashear said.
Public safety included their firetruck and police car in the parade. On top of the firetruck were the upperclassman, waving down at the crowd while the underclassman walked along the sides of the truck in the street.
Junior Christian Ferman Almendra said, his favorite part of being in the Old Settlers Parade was “just seeing people smile and seeing the little kids happy,”.
