Ms. Hooper read her class a Halloween story before the start of Pennekamp's annual Halloween parade.

Electricity ran through the air and it was very difficult to stay seated but FINALLY, it was time! 

The haunted sounds of the ghouls and goblins of the Mira Costa High School Marching Band and Color Guard welcomed everyone to the parade field.

Many of the band members are Pennekamp alumni.

And even though we knew who they were, they still looked really scary in their costumes!

Everyone waited in anticipation as the parade was about to begin and then...

There they were!  Cheerleaders, fairies, princesses, indians, witches and a whole lot more!

Who is under that mask?  Do you know?

From Screams to Sponge Bob...

everyone took their turn parading around the field.

Our thanks to the Pennekamp PTA's Halloween Parade chair Christine Dillon and custodian Nelson Tiangson for their efforts in setting up the parade.  We'd also like to thank Director Amy Johnson and the Mira Costa High School Marching Band and Color Guard for making our Halloween Parade such a festive occasion!
