All four kindergarten classes presented the annual Halloween Music Program to parents and teachers followed by an outdoor costume parade on the playground.

From Batmans and Spidermans to Elsas and Dorys, the kindergartners marched in front of the rest of the schools’ classrooms and teachers as well as attending parents and siblings, who happily cheered them on as Halloween-themed music played in the background, according to a release from Holmes Elementary School. 

The annual parade was led by Principal Paula Bleakley and Assistant Principal Alex Harvey, who really showed their age in matching grandma and grandpa costumes, the release said.
