Halloween spirit was on full display Friday morning at Quail Hollow School - Home of the Quails. The traditional Halloween parade, led by Principal Jeff Nalwalker, started in the hallways of the school and then wrapped around the playground. Hundreds of parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and family friends arrived in the brisk fall morning to cheer the kiddos in their costumes. The crowd smiled, waved, and snapped photos of the creative characters. Seen in the bunch: cheerleaders, football players, princesses, Michael Jacksons, Harry Potters, ghouls, and so much more. Beyond the costumes, the parade gave the entire school community a chance to enjoy a favorite fall tradition. Happy halloween!

Sandy Elementary kicked off this year's Halloween festivities in style! Per tradition,the Sandy community has lined Main Street to watch the Sandy Sharks parade in their creative Halloween costumes — and this year was certainly no different. The costume-clad students, teachers, and staff marched down Historic Main Street from the Sandy Elementary campus. The group turned around right before the TRAX line before returning to the school. This year, the Jordan drumline and cheerleaders set the tone as the Sandy City Police Department marked the route for the cast of characters in the parade.

ICYMI: Students from Alta, Brighton, and Jordan participated in the Unified Sports soccer championship on Thursday, competing against fellow students from across the state. “I feel good! I'm happy. We won. Let's go," Brighton student Conner Jones told KSL 5 TV. Co-sponsored by the Special Olympics, Unified Sports brings students with and without intellectual disabilities together as teammates, using the power of sports to build friendships, break down barriers, and celebrate what we can accomplish together — and the energy from the cheering sections was absolutely electric. Congratulations to all our athletes, and a special shoutout to Brighton and the two teams from Jordan High for bringing home trophies. We also congratulate Alta students James Miles and Makayla Steadman for earning $500 America First scholarships. Read more:

It’s almost All Hallows Eve — the night of fun and frights for children of all ages. While Halloween doesn’t officially begin until Saturday, schools across Canyons are marking the start of the spooky holiday weekend with parades, dances, and other magical activities. Take, for example, the trunk-or-treat held on Wednesday at Alta High School . The Alta High Football team started the Halloween-themed celebration and donation drive to benefit the Canyons Education Foundation last year—and this year the crowd packed the east parking lot. Tomorrow, students, faculty and staff will frolic in traditional parties and parades, such as Sandy Elementary’s much-loved parade down Sandy’s Main Street. To keep your family’s zombies, witches and ghosts safe Saturday as they haunt neighborhoods in search of trick-or-treats candy, we’re passing along some safety tips as they run in packs in the light of the waning moon. The National PTA urges students to avoid walking alone. Adults or older siblings should follow along to make sure Halloween hijinks don’t end in nightmares. Here’s a scary statistic: Children are more than twice as likely to be hit by a car on Halloween than on any other day of the year, according to the National Safety Council. The council offers this advice to dashing princes or caped crusaders: Look left, right and left again before crossing.  Never dart into the street or between parked cars — and definitely do not go into a stranger’s home or car, even if they offer extra prizes and candy.  Families also should take stock of the weather before heading out the door. At the end of the night, safety officials say, parents should examine the haul of goodies the costumed kiddos bring home. Make sure the wrappers are intact and treats haven’t been touched or altered. By following these tips, we hope you will have a safe and happy Halloween!

The future of aerospace is in good hands, and some of those hands are still in high school. Students from Alta, Corner Canyon, Hillcrest, and Jordan high schools got a front-row seat to the future of aerospace, defense, and emerging technology at 47G's annual Zero Gravity Summit. Through the summit's Future Leaders track, these aspiring engineers and innovators rubbed elbows with industry executives, connected with hiring teams, explored cutting-edge technology, and heard from leaders shaping the future of these rapidly growing fields. They even learned what it takes to build their own R2-D2 droids (of Star Wars fame). The message to students? Your future is full of opportunity, and it's yours to shape. "We don't have enough tech workers. We are woefully short and we are working to provide the pathways for you," Northrop Grumman Defense Director Ed Robledo told students. For students with a passion for engineering, aerospace, and technology, the summit was more than a glimpse into exciting careers. It was a chance to start building the connections that could help launch them.
