The Annual Penn-Trafford Homecoming Parade kicked off from Penn Township Municipal Park at 6:00 pm on Friday, October 14. The parade featured creative floats with the theme ‘Gods and Goddesses.’ Floats were sponsored by many Penn-Trafford clubs and organizations.
The floats were judged by a panel of teachers, and winners were announced in three categories. The ‘Best Costume’ award went to the Junior Class of 2024 and their float titled Poseidon. The Sophomore Class of 2025 won both ‘Most Creative’ and ‘Best in Show’ categories for their Aphrodite float.
The 2022 homecoming court also participated in the parade, riding in a procession of decked out convertibles. Crowning took place prior to kickoff, with Daniel Tarabrella being named as Homecoming King and Carly Henderson as Queen.
As is customary, the homecoming court performed dances during a Friday afternoon pep-rally; (left to right) Conlan Greene, Gabby Leslie, Jake Otto, Berkley Olszewski, Daniel Tarabrella, Alexa Rullo, Josh Goldberg, Gabby DeFillippo, Carson Good, Carly Henderson, Alex Voit and Olivia Bankosh
