The 2023 Bolles Homecoming Court and senior fall athletes kicked off Homecoming Week with a parade on the Upper School San Jose Campus and Lower School Whitehurst Campus on Monday, September 25, during Activities.

The seniors wore their court sashes and athletic uniforms, waving at their peers on the River Campus and the lower school students who lined the sidewalks of the Whitehurst Campus. The little Bulldogs enthusiastically cheered and chanted for candy that the seniors tossed from their vehicles. View photos from the parade here.
