On Oct. 29, Park Elementary School in Holbrook called all goblins, ghosts and creatures of the night to its Monster Mash Dance as a part of Red Ribbon Week. Teachers, parents, students and their siblings came dressed in costume as they moved and grooved to a variety of Halloween dances lead by Virginia Pond, Park’s music teacher.

In addition, delicious healthy snacks were contributed by Park parents, and served by Park volunteers and Linda Parker’s Girl Scout Troop. Park is focusing on health and wellness, so Healthy Halloween snack ideas were sent home, and Park parents came through by supplying many fun and creative healthy snacks.

Park further promoted student activity by providing a choice of various balls, jump ropes and Frisbees to those students who contributed a healthy snack to the event. Halloween blowups of graveyards, carriages and coffins decorated the edges of the gym.
