What a thrill!

Goulter School kicked off their thrilling ‘Halloweekend’ on Friday, October 30th, with an energetic outdoor dance performance to Michael Jackson’s iconic "Thriller!" To burn off plenty of excited pre-Halloween energy before trick-or-treating the next evening, the spirited students performed the full dance three times in a row. Mrs. Jill Radwanski did a phenomenal job bringing all the students together, from eager kindergarteners all the way up to Grade 4, to collaborate seamlessly in such a massive group activity, which is certainly no small feat!
The students looked extra cool as they perfected their eerie zombie walks, striking perfected their eerie zombie walks, striking
spooky poses, and roaring as they lifted their claws—err, hands—from side to side.Up above, a drone captured spectacular aerial footage of the entire crowd grooving in unison. Even several enthusiastic staff members joined in on the spooky fun, showing off their best undead moves right alongside the kids. By the end of the third gruelling dance, quite a few exhausted students were truly looking zombified and ready to head back inside the warm school. It was a wonderful and memorable finale to a fantastic, spooky week. Anticipation is already high for this year's upcoming Christmas Concert at Goulter School, which is also being thoughtfully organized by the talented Mrs. Radwanski!
