[MUSIC]I’m here with Amee Kovacs in her sixth-grade classroom at Foothills Elementary on Halloween. How are you today? It's a great day at Foothills Elementary.
Amee Kovacs:
It is such a great day. We had so many kids dress up in so many fun unique costumes. We're having a blast here.
Anthony Godfrey:
I always love being in schools on Halloween. It reminds me of just the joy of being at an elementary school. Tell me what are some of your favorite costumes this year?
Amee Kovacs:
Oh man, well we've seen lots of Barbies. That's been a very popular costume.
Anthony Godfrey:
Yes. But not a lot of Kenergy out there.
Amee Kovacs:
Not a lot of Kenergy. I wish we saw a little bit more of that, but you know maybe next year. I really like there's lots of fun Five Night at Freddy's costumes.
Anthony Godfrey:
Yes.
Amee Kovacs:
Lots of blow-ups are popular.
Anthony Godfrey:
I saw three blow-up dinosaurs together. Those guys coordinated in advance.
Amee Kovacs:
Right, right. Hopefully, kids are dressing up warm. That's my one thing - I'm glad everyone was wearing long sleeves and dressing warm today.
Anthony Godfrey:
Now I also love to see the theme that various grade levels do. And you are a Sesame Street theme.
Amee Kovacs:
We are Sesame Street theme.
Anthony Godfrey:
I saw a few grouches and then a few people were actually dressed as Oscar the Grouch.
Amee Kovacs:
Yes.
Anthony Godfrey:
I’m just kidding. So you are one of the newer characters.
Amee Kovacs:
I am. I am Abby Cadabby, a newer fairy character on Sesame Street.
Anthony Godfrey:
Abby Cadabby. Well, you leaned all the way into it. Is that a homemade wig?
Amee Kovacs:
I wish I could say I made this, no this was purchased, but I've got the wings, I've got the wand. It's Halloween, you have to go all out, right?
Anthony Godfrey:
That's very, very legit. Very legit. Bravo, bravo.
Amee Kovacs:
Thank you.
Anthony Godfrey:
Now tell me, there's a party today as well. What does that entail?
Amee Kovacs:
Lots of treats, lots of activities. It looks like we've got some crafting going on and awesome parents coming in to help out. Like that is the key to a successful Halloween is getting the community here to help out. And as you can see, we've got lots of parents here to help with the kiddos today.
Anthony Godfrey:
It's a big parent responsibility being in charge of Halloween.
Amee Kovacs:
It is, in fact, I usually kind of step back and they just take over and it's fabulous.
