Our students made a small splash along Loring Avenue today with their spirited Halloween Parade. “With the public schools closed, I guess we’re the only ones doing it this Halloween,” says Mr. Danny. “It makes sense. We just can’t refuse–not too many people remember this but it was my mom who started the whole thing.” He is referring, of course, to Ms. Welch, School Founder Patricia Jennings-Welch, who taught first at Horace Mann and Carlton. “I remember in the early 1970’s. I was going to Horace Mann and she would come marching through the whole school with her little kids. My classmates laughed and embarrassed me; but now I look back on it fondly.”
