Ghosts and goblins were in the air this Halloween time. Holy Family Early Learning Center would like to thank all of the downtown merchants for making this Halloween safe and worthwhile for the students.

There was more than enough candy to go around and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. Without the merchants, this would not have been possible. I will not point out any specific merchants, because all of the downtown merchants rose to the occasion.

To our wonderful parents, thank you for assisting with supervising the students. There was a parent for each student.

To our outstanding teachers, who are the crème de la crème, for walking the students and having so much patience with them as they filled their buckets with candy. Some of the teachers also put the Hallow in Halloween by having parties with candy, cookies, pizza, chips and drinks.

Also, a huge thank you to the cafeteria staff for having a nutritious meal hot and ready for us when we got back to campus.

The ghosts, goblins and witches are all gone. Time to move forward to Thanksgiving. Hope to see you all next year. Hats off to a successful Halloween for Holy Family Early Learning Center.
