P.S. 127 kids have gourd-geous Halloween parade and pumpkin art
Autumn leaves have nothing on the colors and vibrancy of P.S. 127’s students, who took to the schoolyard track dressed as pirates, princesses, Ninja Turtles and more for their annual Halloween Parade on Friday, October 31.
The morning also marked the return of the school’s past tradition of holding a pumpkin decorating contest, with students bringing in homemade gourds that had been painted, glue-gunned, bedazzled and be-candy-corned into ghosts, porcupines, witches, snowmen and Dia de los Muertos masks.
“It’s us coming together as a school,” explained Principal Agatha Alicandro. “I love the creativity of the children, seeing them smile and having fun, and the families, community, teachers and children having a voice.”
