De wijk Groenewoud in Weert stond vanochtend in het teken van feest en vrolijkheid. Jeugd van basisschool Aan de Bron en Humankind trokken in een kleurrijke optocht door de straten om carnaval te vieren. De jaarlijkse schooloptocht bracht een bonte stoet van verklede kinderen, versierde karren en creatieve creaties op de been.
Vanaf de Heerlijkheidlaan vertrokken de jonge carnavalsvierders, begeleid door leerkrachten en ouders. Onderweg werd er luid gejuicht en muziek gemaakt, terwijl confetti door de lucht dwarrelde. De optocht, een traditie op de school, zorgt ieder jaar voor een feestelijke sfeer in de wijk. Omwonenden kwamen naar buiten om de vrolijke stoet te bewonderen en de kinderen aan te moedigen.
Naast het plezier stond ook de creativiteit centraal. Leerlingen hadden zelf hun kostuums en versieringen gemaakt, wat zorgde voor een gevarieerd en kleurrijk geheel. Van zelfgemaakte oren tot complete carnavalswagens op kinderformaat, de optocht was een spektakel om te zien.
