🎃 Hershey Panthers PK–6 Parade of Costumes 🎃

📅 Friday, October 31, 2025

Our Panthers in grades PK–6 are ready for a fun-filled Halloween celebration! Students are encouraged to wear their costumes to school if they wish.

👻 Costume Guidelines

• Anything that can be sprayed or thrown should stay at home—it often becomes a distraction.
  
  

• Small amounts of face paint are allowed until it becomes disruptive (please avoid paint on arms and hands).
  
  

• Costumes must be school-appropriate—no gore, weapons, or scary masks.
  
  

• Students may wear their costume all day or change prior to the parade.

🍬 Classroom Parties

• TK-6 Classroom parties will begin at 1:15 PM.
  
  

• Only parents who have signed up or been asked to help by their child’s teacher may attend.
  
  

• Please touch base with your classroom teacher regarding food and allergies before sending party snacks or treats.

🎭 Parade of Costumes

• The annual PK–6 Parade begins at 2:00 PM in the competition gym.
  
  

• The public is welcome to attend.
  
  

• Following the parade, students will be dismissed directly from the gym.
  
  

  • If you know you will be taking your child after the parade, please email your child’s teacher beforehand so they have a general idea.
    
    

  • Students not picked up will return to class to be dismissed (walk/bus).
    
    

• Can’t join us in person? The parade will be live-streamed on the Hershey Panthers YouTube Channel! Be sure to click the red SUBSCRIBE button so you don’t miss it.
