Fort Belvoir Upper Weeks at a Glance
Washington Nationals Victory Parade!
Saturday, November 2nd at 2pm
It is such an honor to be part of the “Grand Slams Schools” program with the Washington Nationals, who are now WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS! We can hardly believe it! We have learned that a victory parade will occur in Washington DC this Saturday at 2 pm. As part of “Grand Slam Schools,” a small number of staff members and students were selected to represent the Fort Belvoir Elementary Campus in the parade, and we will join students and staff members from other “Grand Slam Schools” to march together. We hope all of our community will turn out to cheer us on, and of course cheer for our amazing Nationals at the event downtown. If you see us in our school spirit wear behind the “Grand Slam Schools” banner, please cheer! We have heard that other Fort Belvoir representatives will be marching in the parade as part of the “Nats on Base” program as well. We couldn’t be more excited.
