Ghosts, goblins, and goulash gore. Sounds spooky? This describes an annual day at the Lower School --the Boo Revue, a time for kids to parade about the gym in their Halloween costumes in front of parents, teachers, and the all the Lower School kids. "This may be the students' favorite event," said Diane Lumpkin, Lower School music teacher. "It gives each child another opportunity to step out --sometimes out of their comfort zone-- in a very non-threatening manner."

As part of preparation for the presentation, each class practices a song in music, then entertains the audience with the selection during the colorful event.
An array of spooky creatures met in the Lower School gym with one thing in mind --to create ghostly giggles.
Traditionally, Halloween costumes are meant to spook the unsuspecting bystander. These children decked in their playful outfits evoke more warm smiles than shivers.
