Dictionary Day, aka the most brilliant way to celebrate Halloween at school without actually celebrating Halloween. Every kid in the building is assigned a word in their English class. On Dictionary Day they dress up as the definition of that word. The result is a building full of fantastic costumes and richer vocabulary.
