For several years Drew has participated in Lantern Parades in other neighborhoods. This year due to challenging weather during other neighborhood events, we opted to host our own event. Drew Charter School partnered with the Villages of East Lake to present the first ever East Lake Lantern Parade on Thursday December 13th, 2018. Participants made their own lanterns in class and during Maker Nights in Drew's Makerspace. Everyone met at Drew to begin the walk to the Villages clubhouse. The East Lake Lantern Parade was a fun way to build community pride! Check out the pictures of Maker Night and the Parade below.
