Halloween at Georgetown!

There is much to be known about the American tradition of Halloween. Historians have found ancient traditions linked to this custom long before it was celebrated in America. Today, we celebrate by dressing up in our favorite costumes and go door to door yelling, "TRICK OR TREAT!"

We do celebrate this holiday at school. The children bring their costumes and put them on just before the celebration. Once they are in their costumes, they parade through the school and show other students, teachers and parents what they are wearing. When they return to their classrooms, they have a craft project, a game and usually a treat. Visit these classroom sites to see what the celebrations look like in different classrooms:
