Book Character Day

Here at St. James, Halloween Book Character Day is a fun traditional event where students and teachers dress up as their favorite characters from books instead of traditional Halloween costumes.

Here’s what it usually involves:

• 📚 Focus on reading: The goal is to encourage a love of books and literacy by connecting reading with something exciting and creative.

• 👕 Dress-up day: Students choose a character from a book they’ve read and come to school dressed as that character.

• 🎭 Presentation: Students use presentation skills to, show off their costumes while holding the book that inspired their outfit.

It’s a great way to make Halloween school-appropriate, fun, and educational—all at once!
