Parker Lower School students, their teachers and some parents paraded in costume around campus for Halloween. Afterward, grade 6-12 students held their annual costume contest. Parker’s Spanish classes also celebrated Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, a prominently Mexican holiday (though celebrated in many other countries as well) on Nov. 1 and 2 every year and is a celebration of loved ones who have died. Several students painted their faces to resemble the Mexican-style skull decorations featured during the holiday.
