Since 1924, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has delivered a holiday tradition of floats, balloons, marching bands and performance groups on the streets of Manhattan.

Nearly nine decades later, Heavenly Ax, 18, a senior at Will C. Wood High School, will share in that tradition.

Ax, a varsity cheerleader at Wood, will perform with a group from Spirit of America Productions in the 89th annual Macy’s parade.

This will be Ax’s fourth parade — and third Thanksgiving parade.

Through the Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA), she has participated in the Thanksgiving parade in Houston, New Year’s Day parade in London and Thanksgiving parade in Orlando over the past few years.

She first learned about parade opportunities from senior cheerleaders she met during her first year at Wood.
