Retro fridays and halloween in elementary school

No that isn't a band or a song or an obscure movie, I'm talking about the actual event of being in elementary school on halloween that can't be replicated as an adult(unless your a teacher or a ta). Growing up, halloween was one of my favorite holidays at school, you got to wear your costume to school and take part in a parade of sorts. It's more like a snake, your class would line up and then go to a seemingly random class and walk through to show off your costumes. Ok my memory reminds me that about half of the students or so would form the snake parade and the rest were in their class sitting down and watching the kids go by. I do have pictures from when I was in the parade and I wont be sharing them because my alien costume was cringe worthy. I also think that parents were invited to watch said parade and could take pics which explains how I have a picture of me

The best part is after the parade. Teachers already throw out the lesson plan for halloween and usually put on a halloween movie or a movie but the day gets even better. The 2nd half of the day is for a class party. Usually someone's parents bring punch and juice and cakecups and cookies and chips and other random junk food that kids love. We kids would just socialize and have fun and goof off and enjoy the pizza and juice and be kids.If things went right, there was another movie that would be put on and that was little kid heaven

Of course being kids the main event and cherry on top of an already good day was trick or treating. I have many fond memories of school and halloween and I hope to be there when my sister dresses up for school and I will be taking pictures
