Cherokee County Students Celebrate Halloween, Raise Funds

CHEROKEE COUNTY, GA — Cherokee County schools celebrated the Halloween season with book character dress-up days, charitable fundraisers and special events.

The Cherokee Schools Preschool Centers welcomed parents and grandparents for special activities.

Preschoolers and prekindergartners at Cherokee Schools' Ralph Bunche Center in Canton showed off their costumes for parents before going inside for a math treat parade and pumpkin activities.

Community helpers, including police officers, and Cherokee Schools Transition Academy students volunteer to help with Ralph Bunche Center’s math treat parade and pumpkin activities.

Elementary schools, including Sixes Elementary School, used the holiday as an opportunity to raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Students in first-grade teacher Julianne Surrency’s class dressed up for Sixes’ “Costumes for Cancer” event.

The School Nutrition staff at Holly Springs Elementary School STEM Academy got into the fun by dressing up as their version of The Spice Girls.
