As part of their fall Spirit Week, Vista Academy of Dallas held “Story Book Character Day,” on Tuesday, Sept. 27. Students dressed up as their favorite book characters and shared with their classmates why the characters were their favorite. Teachers also participated. Other Spirit Week activities included Crazy Socks and Hair Day, Hats on Day (to raise money for children with cancer), Pajama Day, and Western Day.
Below are a few photos:
