The annual St. Mary’s Early Learning Center Halloween visit colorfully filled the halls on Tuesday. Class by class, the children were escorted around each floor as classes were happily interrupted. The children’s teachers knew that an open door was an invitation to visit and a new opportunity for the ghosts, goblins, princesses, and super-heroes to gather candy.

The adults were similarly attired, including Coach Maddie, whose daughter was among the trick or treaters. Attendance Secretary Beth Henehan’s granddaghter was also in the parade, giving her a break from chasing tardy students to accompany her.
