Halloween festivities filled the North Merrick School District on Oct. 30 as students and staff at Camp Avenue, Old Mill Road and Harold D. Fayette elementary schools celebrated with colorful costumes, parades and fall festivals.
The celebrations began with outdoor parades at each school, where students showed off their costumes as families and staff cheered them on. From superheroes and pop stars to spooky skeletons, students embraced the Halloween spirit with a variety of creative looks.
At Camp Avenue School, the sixth grade band and orchestra added to the festivities, performing seasonal music as classmates marched in the parade.
Following the parades, students continued the celebrations with fall festivals featuring games, photo booths and activities designed to bring classmates together.
Students participated in potato-sack relays, decorated Halloween-themed T-shirts and danced to spooky music. The festivities gave children an opportunity to showcase their creativity and enjoy the holiday with friends and teachers.
