PHS students build floats for homecoming parade
Members of Parkland High School clubs spent Oct. 9 painting, building and fine-tuning their floats in preparation for the annual homecoming football game. Dozens of clubs devoted much of the day to completing their creations, which later paraded around the football field at halftime. Students clearly enjoyed the process, embracing the project as a labor of love.
