WHCA’s Robotics Teams have been invited to once again participate in the Milford 4th of July Parade!

However, anyone interested in walking with the teams is invited to help promote the school and highlight our Robotics program.

DETAILS:

• Milford Historical Society 2022 Independence Day Parade
• Monday, July 4, 2022 - Line up starts at 10:00 AM (Slot 31 the First Slot on East Street).
• Since our Robot has been disassembled for the season, we are asking the kids to make & come dressed as robots! If enough kids are interested, we will schedule a “build day” to make some costumes.
• If you don’t want to be a robot, don’t worry, you can wear your WHCA shirt for the parade.
• Please text Jeff Clark, (248) 790-7788, if you are interested in marching or if you need more information!
