Preschool Halloween Parade
The preschoolers had a Halloween Parade today! The students and teachers in the school went outside to see them march by. The preschoolers got a police escort with siren and lights included! They trick or treated in the main office and then made their way back to their classroom. They were so cute to see!!!

Hannah is at Bradley University majoring in nursing. Today was her first day of clinicals and she sent a picture to Mrs. Marco. Congratulations, Hannah! We're so proud of you! Keep up the good work!!!
