Chester Elementary Celebrates Halloween With Annual Parade

Chester Elementary looked a little different on Thursday morning, as students, faculty and staff dressed up in all manner of costumes to celebrate Halloween as only CES can... with their annual Halloween Parade! The school's halls and parking lot were transformed into a veritable parade of the paranormal, a ghastly good time that went on for the duration of this happily haunted half-day!

The students enjoyed taking their costumes on a pre-trick-or-treat test drive and were proud to show them off to the family and friends who came out to share in the fun.

Chester Elementary students began their day with a special welcome, as the Chester Academy drumline set up outside the school's main entrance to play for the students as they arrived. Many classes started the morning with a Halloween breakfast -- complete with bagels, apples and oranges -- before making their way back outside for the parade, which looped around the building and through the parking lot.

Here's a look at some of the fun...
