On March 4, Parkview Elementary transformed into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for staff, students and parents alike to attend. The school was packed and the sound of wonder and joy filled the rooms and halls. Principal Carlene Cantrell was excited to host the event after covid forced administration to cancel it in the fall and in 2020. She highlighted the great turnout and enjoyment of staff and students.
This year was the seventh year of the annual Night at Hogwarts event. The event’s inception in 2013 was inspired after retired teacher and Harry Potter enthusiast Vicki Douglas attended a similar event with her grandson and planned the idea bigger and better for the Rangely School District. Many thanks to Douglas for her inspiration and continued dedication to the event. The event serves as a community outreach and fundraiser for teachers and classrooms. | KATIE KING PHOTOS
