Event Spotlight: The Grand March For the Senior Prom

          Sponsored by The Savings Bank

 A spectacular prom tradition is the Grand March which is held at the Upper Common by Lake Quannapowitt. The Wakefield Police Department and the Department of Public Works will assist in the planning and execution of this event.  The Savings Bank of Wakefield has generously provided the police detail, music, and decorations for the Grand March.

   All students and guests must attend the Grand March.

• Due to the large number of spectators expected to attend the Grand March and to ensure the safety of all the participants, Church Street between the upper and lower common will be blocked off in order to provide parking spaces for the students’ transportation (limos, vans, etc.). 
• The parking lot adjacent to the Congregational Church will be reserved for parents of students.  The only other available parking will be alongside the lake and side streets.  For this reason, we ask that you abide by the above parking restrictions and arrange car pools to the Grand March. 
• Handicapped parking will be available in the church parking lot for those who notify the school by May 26.  This notification should be addressed to Assistant Principal Dennis O’Leary at Wakefield High School, (781)246-6440.
• In the event of rain, the Grand March will be held in the Charbonneau Field House at the high school.  If there is a question about whether or not the Grand March will be held outside, an announcement will be posted on the WHS Website.
