A second-grade teacher in Enumclaw, Washington, recorded her students mounting a hilarious low-budget homage to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on November 17, after her class learned about the spectacle's origins. Morgan Strand, a teacher at https://sre.enumclaw.wednet.edu/staff?page_no=3 Sunrise Elementary , recorded this video showing the various balloons decorated by her students as they were walked across a projected image of New York City. "They used construction paper and markers to make their ideas come alive, just like Tony Sarg," Strand told Storyful. She explained that her class had just read the book "Balloons over Broadway" by Melissa Sweet, which told the story of Sarg, a puppeteer who https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/the-puppeteer-who-brought-balloons-to-the-thanksgiving-day-parade-180947863/ helped create the displays of the first Macy's Thanksgiving parade back in 1924. "Some of the balloons were unicorns, owls, Pac-Man, Baby Yoda, Frankenstein," Strand said. "They had so much fun!" (Footage by Morgan Strand/Storyful via Getty Images UGC)
