Friday is going to be a historic day in the city of Philadelphia as the Eagles will celebrate their Super Bowl 59 win and schools in the area are making sure the students and staff are able to be apart of the unforgettable moment.
The city’s schools superintendent Tony B. Watlington Sr. announced that all Philadelphia public schools will be closed on Friday so people can enjoy the Eagles parade.
“We look forward to celebrating the Eagle’s victory as a community, and we hope that our students, staff and families will do so safely and responsibly,” said Superintendent Tony B. Watlington Sr. “Congratulations to our Super Bowl LIX Champions. Go Birds!”
The parade will begin at 11 a.m. ET at the intersection of Broad Street and Pattison Avenue, heading toward City Hall. From that point, buses will transport the players to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where players and coaches are expected to address the crowd from the famous steps leading to the building.
The site is where Sylvester Stallone, portraying fictional boxer Rocky Balboa, triumphantly ran the stairs in the 1976 movie “Rocky.”
