Goldilocks and her Black Bears! What a wonderful day it was for a parade down Broadway.
The students had a blast and felt like celebrities parading down the street. They were so excited to show-off their costumes.
Special thank you to the Sterling police Department, the City of Sterling, and Community members, for welcoming the parade back uptown. Thank you to all the homeroom parents who helped our students celebrate the day. Happy and safe Halloween from all of us at SGS!
