Several SUE members participated in the annual Stewartville Summerfest 4th of July parade. During the parade we passed out 2,000 pencils and 1,000 freeze pops to the parade viewers. We had 2 cars, one with our elementary and secondary teachers of the year Krystal Peterson and Kelly Manley, as well as Dawn Clark, our friend of education. Thanks to Mark Schmitz for driving his convertible! The other vehicle sported our nifty banner and was the hub for the parade goodies. Thanks to Cheri and Jim Stageberg for letting us use your vehicle.
