Lower School Holds Costume and Vocabulary Parade
Lower School students came to school Wednesday dressed as spooky, graceful, unexpected and fun characters ready for the school's annual costume and vocabulary parade.
Pre-K through fifth grade classes paraded through the halls and sidewalks as parents, faculty and older students watched, waved and took photos. While all students dressed up in a costume, students in grades 3-5 also chose a vocabulary word representing their costume. They presented their words along with a definition and sentence during an assembly in Brooks Gym following the parade.
This program is inspired by the book "Miss Alaineus, A Vocabulary Disaster," in which the main character confuses the word miscellaneous with a person. She transforms her mistake by showing up to her school's vocabulary parade dressed as Miss Alaineus, Queen of All Miscellaneous Things.
"It is certainly fun to dress up in costume and pretend to be something different," said Blair Hawley, head of Lower School. "It helps us to broaden our imaginations and to think creatively."
