Homecoming 2007 - UNISATO Enters a Float in the Parade!

Once again the students of UNISATO demonstrated their Panther Pride by participating in the 2007 Homecoming parade. In what began in years past with a banner and window painting, has evolved into the students building their own float for the third consecutive year. Led by junior Lindsey Poe, the second year class volunteered to take charge of the event in what they hope will be a long lasting tradition for future second year cohorts. Congratulations to all of those who participated, and special thanks to the families of Kate Heyer and Natalie Buchholz for supplying the truck and trailer.

Visit the links below for pictures of their float and previous UNISATO homecoming memories.
