Halloween - the day after

A group photo of all the children on Halloween (click to enlarge)

Our school children were all decked up yesterday in their Halloween costumes, and as they paraded in the school corridors, I caught some of them in their classrooms with many creative outfits and costumes. An innovative idea was started yesterday in what was called "Trunk or Treat" whereby parents distributed candy from their car trunks lined up outside, as 140 children waited patiently to fill their bags with candy, chocolate and all kinds of treats. 

"Trunk or Treat" was a huge success and safe way to distribute candy

In the morning, each class presented a saint to commemorate all Saints, after which we had an audio-visual Rosary. Another group of 15 children will be presented during the 10 AM Mass tomorrow to continue our celebration of All Saints combined with All Souls.
