Portsmouth Middle School faculty parades through town
Celebration honors 8th-grade students who are moving on
PORTSMOUTH — Has it hit your neighborhood yet?
Around 9:30 a.m. Friday, a mini-caravan of faculty members from Portsmouth Middle School left the school’s parking lot for a police-escorted parade down nearly every street in town.
The parade, specifically for eighth-graders who are moving on to high school in the fall, was expected to cover more than 68 miles of pavement in about five hours.
Scroll through the photos above to see some scenes from the parade as it passed through the Redwood Farms neighborhood.
