One of my fondest memories of grade school is Halloween. Teachers always went above and beyond to make this holiday special for us, from creating spooky-themed assignments all October to dressing up on the actual holiday. It was clear that they loved celebrating with us, and their Halloween spirit made school an unforgettable experience.
If you're a teacher getting dressed up for your students this year, thank you for your service! Below, we list some ideas to help you plan your costume.
