The third and fourth graders at Rochester Memorial School celebrated the third annual Vocabulary Day parade on Thursday morning.
Students were allowed to choose any vocabulary word they wanted, and then they designed a costume to represent that word. During the parade, the students walked through the gym in front of the rest of the school and read their word aloud.
The words students chose ranged from commencement and meteorologist to liberty and amethyst.
Some students chose to dress up with friends as synonyms, such as void and vacant, while others chose to dress as antonyms, such as optimist and pessimist.
