Pace Academy Student Featured in Macy's Parade
This little fifth-grader is already doing huge things and rubbing elbows with one of the biggest celebrities around– Santa!
One Pace Academy fifth-grader had the opportunity to ride on a float in the famous Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Thursday after scoring a major role in a musical.
Mary Stewart Sullivan rode the float with Santa after playing the role of Virginia in the world premier of "Yes, Virginia," a musical developed by Macy's as part of the retailer's "Believe" campaign.
Mary performed in the musical this summer at the famed 40-year-old Stagedoor Manor Camp in the Catskills, NY, known as a training ground for the country's top young talent.
