Pics from the Main Parade. I think I have all but somehow I missed the Grand Marshalls. If you have one of the Grand Marshalls float in the parade please send it to me. I am sure they are in order but may be in error. There are 54 photos here.

Norwood Farmers Day - 2012 Entry 1

Posted on October 1, 2012

Norwood Missouri held it's 32nd annual Farmers Day on September 29, 2012. The pictures below are unnamed because I feel that if I cannot name all then I should name none - just to be fair. The pictures are of the Kiddie Parade that takes place 15 minutes prior to the main parade.

I think I have the pictures posted in the order that they came through.

Below are the photos of the winning youngsters receiving their cash prizes and their ribbon. I think I got a photo of each one that appeared. I failed to get all their names. Sadly a lot of the participants were off elsewhere and did not hear their names called. They will still receive their prize and ribbon.

Thanks to all the youngsters for participating in the Kiddie Parade

Each year Mtn Grove VFW Post 3770 donates the prize money for the Kiddie Parade.

Thanks to Elaina Prewett for continuing to manage the Kiddie Parade each year.

Does anyone know of another town that has a separate parade just for the youngsters???

Posted on May 20, 2011

Norwood School students worked all year collecting donations for the Ozarks Honor Flight to send WWII veterans to Washington D.C. to visit the WWII Memorial. Today, May 20th of 2011, Steve Grant from KY3 News in Springfield Mo came to accept the donations.
The text below the photos is quoted from Ryan Forrest the announcer of the program.

Good morning, Norwood School, I’m Ryan Forrest, Norwood Student Body Vice-President. We are excited today to have Steve Grant, KY3 News Anchor and Ozark Flight Representative. If you remember, back in the fall at the Veteran’s Day Assembly, Norwood Schools and clubs set a goal of raising money to send veterans on the Ozark Honor Flight. Today, we have representatives from high school clubs, who will be presenting checks to Mr. Grant.

First, Amanda Parker, FCCLA sponsor presenting a check

Next, we have sponsor Chris Sinning of the Future Farmers of America along with Shiann Russell to present a check.

Next we have Student Council sponsor, Jason Duey and me to present a check to Mr Grant. Throughout the year, we have sponsored several “Jeans Days” with Norwood Staff and Faculty. We are proud to present a check on behalf of Norwood Student Council.

Christy Chadwell. Future Business Leaders of America sponsor, along with Chase McIntosh and Jordon Cottengim will be presenting a check.

Our largest contributor to the Ozark Honor Flight was Junior National Honor Society and National Honor Society. Sponsors DyAnna Shaver and Samantha Sullivan will be presenting a check along with Madison Crain, Hayden Russell and Megan Campbell.

On behalf of Norwood School, we are proud to say that our grand total for the Ozarks Honor Flight is $4050.00. We hope that all the veterans and sponsors have a great time in Washington D.C. next Wednesday, May 25^th. Norwood Pirates are proud to be part of this effort.
