What an exciting time it was for our early childhood students as they came to school today to participate in our annual Halloween Mother Goose Parade, led by our own early childhood librarian, Mrs. Mould. Despite the inconvenience of uncooperative weather, students enjoyed parading through the halls and in the gymnasium. I'm always impressed with the creativity of the children's costumes. Everyone looked adorable and even the teachers and staff dressed up. What fun!
The parade was followed by a trip over to the Middle School to visit the enchanted library where lights were dimmed and fun little alcoves were filled with volunteers reading and acting out nursery rhymes and short fairy tales. The children enjoyed it so much and I think the adults did too. Thank you to the library staff for their hard work in preparing this special event for our students, and to the many volunteers it took to make it successful.
