Annual Book Character Parade at HPS
2025-10-31 09:00 - 09:30 UTC | HPS Courtyard/Playground
Annual Book Character Parade at HPS

We invite students to dress up as their favorite book characters for the day, and bring the book to accompany their costume

It begins at approximately 9:05 am after morning announcements, and Barkley will lead the parade

Students will walk outside by the door that is closest to the basketball court, walking toward the door by the kindergarten/EXCEL wing

If it is raining or too wet outside, the parade will be canceled, and a message will be sent via ParentSquare that morning

Parents/Guardians are welcome to come and watch the parade, but please note it’s a very short time (about 10 minutes from start to finish)

Students should come to school already dressed up, the costume should be comfortable to wear all day, and easy to manipulate when thinking of them independently, using the bathroom

For safety purposes, students may not wear masks or bring in any type of toy weapon that may be associated with the outfit
