Costume Parade

Cooper's school does a Costume Parade every year. This is no small feat! They encourage everyone to dress up. AND, all the teachers and staff dress up in 'themes'. It is a big secret as to what the kindergarten team is going to be, the first grade teachers, the office staff, etc. Then, about 10 minutes after announcements, the assemble the grade levels in strategic areas and begin playing Monster mash over the PA system. The King and Queen of the Gym were leading off the parade and it proceeded from there. Everyone in the parade made their final appearance in the cafeteria as they got to stroll across the stage and do a pageant wave, if they so chose. One of the cutest kids I saw was a kid dressed as an old man with an old man mask, sweater, black socks, high water trousers and pushing a walker. He was even doing the old man shuffle-walk. Very cute! I would say most of the school participated in it! The cutest teacher group had to be a tie betwee the box of crayons group and the group of teachers who dressed up as Girl Scouts, pulling a wagon with girl scout cookies and 2 of them, at one point, holding hands and skipping!
