Grand Rapids — Students and staff from Stocking and Sibley Elementary schools enjoyed some neighborhood trick-or-treating on their parade routes Friday.

“This has been a big deal at Stocking for many years, so we are so excited to get back to it,” said KSSN Community School Coordinator Cheyenne Buelterman-Fernandez. “We go all out for Halloween at Stocking!”

Before heading out on parade, students visited Halloween-themed stations in their building and, in the afternoon, students began following the parade route, dressed up in their costumes, while community businesses and partners lined the route to pass out candy and other goodies.
