The hallowed halls of Cunningham Park Elementary were transformed into a realm of imagination and enchantment on October 31, 2023, as students, teachers, and parents came together for the school's highly anticipated Annual Book Character Parade.

This year's parade was a visual feast, with students and staff alike donning an array of creative and meticulously crafted costumes inspired by their favorite book characters. Classic protagonists, modern heroes, and even beloved animals from the pages of children's literature roamed the school's corridors.

The parade was more than just a carnival of colorful characters; it was also a dynamic learning experience. Students engaged in lively discussions about their chosen characters and the stories they hailed from, strengthening their comprehension skills and fostering a deeper connection to literature.

The parade was a testament to the power of community spirit, as parents joined in the fun. Their presence and enthusiastic support further cemented the idea that the love of reading and the magic of stories unite us all.

Cunningham Park Elementary's Annual Book Character Parade has become an enduring tradition, reflecting the school's commitment to fostering a lifelong love for literature. It encapsulates the essence of togetherness and the transformative power of storytelling that defines our school community.  Thank you to our AMAZING librarian, Ms. Brinkhuis, for always inspiring us by organizing our annual parade.  

As the memories of this year's parade linger, we look forward to what the next chapter of the Annual Book Character Parade at Cunningham Park Elementary will bring. Each year, it reaffirms that literature knows no bounds and that the magic of storytelling continues to inspire and unite us all.
