On Friday Morning at 10AM, Transfiguration Elementary and Transfiguration Kindergarten Schools will he holding its 2009 Halloween Parade through Chinatown. The parade will start at the Elementary School, go down Mosco Street toward Columbus Park. The path then proceeds north on Mulberry for two blocks. It will then turn right on Canal and right again on Mott Street and head back to the Elementary School. Mulberry Street and Mott Street will have traffic halted during the parade to allow the children to walk down the middle of the street.

At 1pm, the Elementary School will have its Costume Awards. Ms Grondahl, our Art teacher, will be selecting the best costumes with an emphasis on this year's theme of Being Green. Top awards will be given to creative costumes that make use of reused or recycled materials. Parents are
welcome to the show in the school auditorium.
