Halloween at ISSAC

At our school's annual Halloween event, "Favorite Book Character," the grounds came alive with a burst of color and creativity as students paraded around in a delightful array of cute and imaginative costumes.

The parade, held in the yard and blacktop area, showcased everything from miniature superheroes to graceful princesses, but what truly made it special was the unique ISSAC tradition: every costume was inspired by a beloved book character. Selected students took to the stage to passionately speak about the books that had inspired their outfits, adding a layer of storytelling and literary celebration to the festivities.

Even those without costumes proudly held up pieces of paper displaying the names of the books they had chosen, emphasizing that everyone had a place in the parade. This meaningful tradition transforms Halloween into more than just a day of candy and costumes. While the fun and treats are certainly part of the joy, ISSAC goes deeper, encouraging kids to immerse themselves in stories and developing a lifelong friendship with books. It’s a perfect blend of educational inspiration and festive delight, making the event both memorable and enriching.
