Dear Mr. Wollangk,
Jefferson Elementary School has received a grant from Special Opportunities for Artists
in Residence (S.O.A.R.) to bring artist Joan Mosling to our school to help our students
make giant parade puppets, banners, masks, and festival trappings so they can perform in
the Oshkosh Holiday Parade. Since just our second through fifth grade students are old
enough to walk in the parade, we would like to do an all-school parade during the school
day for the entire Kindergarten through fifth grade population.
After speaking to Sergeant Tim Bakri from the Oshkosh Police Department, I have
learned that if we get the go-ahead from you, he will close off the street in order to keep
our students safe. We would like to run our parade on Thursday, November 11 th at 1
p.m., with a rain date of Friday, November 12th at 10 a.m. We'd like to begin at the
Jefferson playground, proceed down 11 th Avenue, and stop at Ohio Street. We would
then turn around and head back down 11 th directly back to school.
As our parade proudly features the holiday celebrations of our Jefferson cultures, we
invite you and the rest of the Common Council to enjoy our parade on November 11 th, or
our participation in the Oshkosh Holiday Parade.

Please let me know if you need any additional information.
