Kindness Challenge Winners Chosen as Grand Marshals
As part of this year’s Iris Festival theme, “Where Kindness Blooms,” the planning committee asked each grade in the Dresden School system to nominate the kindest student and teacher in their grade.
“We believe that an honor like this deserves the highest of recognition, and because of that, these people were selected to be the Grand Marshals of our 2021 Tennessee Iris Festival. We hope you will join us in congratulating each student chosen, and we hope that we can all be inspired to share a little kindness like they do,” executive board members noted.
