A Celebration of Imagination

The Sprague Halloween parade was a lively showcase of creativity and fun, with students dressed in costumes that spanned every genre imaginable! From iconic movie characters to beloved storybook heroes, the students brought Halloween magic to life, strutting with pride and excitement. Pirates marched beside superheroes, and fairy-tale figures waved to the crowd alongside wizards and ghosts, creating a colorful and spirited atmosphere that was truly a treat for all who attended. The parade wasn’t just a display of costumes as seen in these pictures; it was a celebration of imagination, community, and the joy of Halloween traditions! Check tomorrow on the D103 YouTube channel for a video of the parade.
