Congratulations to the WUSD Expanded Learning Program for winning "Best Music" in the Christmas Parade. Their entry included dual trailers. One carried The Grinch on top of his mountain home, and the larger trailer carried the residents of "Whoville," including the mayor, Cindy Lou Who, and dozens of Whoville children (the students). The judges loved their globe covered in artwork from their students - a nod to our theme for the year - but it was all the children of Whoville singing Christmas songs along the route that won them their category.
