The Northside Elementary School community in the Levittown School District entered a magical place from Nov. 17-21, as they celebrated a week of "Harry Potter" themed activities for PARP.

Dubbed "The Wizarding World of Reading" and organized by the PTA, PARP week kicked off with an assembly for kindergartners through second graders, where Magic Evan wowed students with a magic show. The magic also began with "Sorting Hat Day," when students wore crazy hats and hairstyles. A day themed with potions had students wear green, purple and silver, and they cozied up with a good book on pajama day. "Defense Against the Dark Arts Day" had students wearing their wizarding robes with a flashlight in hand for reading alongside a book buddy. PARP week concluded with students showing their house pride by donning the colors of the Hogwarts houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin. At home, students completed reading challenges to rack up as many minutes reading as they could.

For a 'Harry Potter' themed PARP week, second graders at Northside Elementary School wore purple, green and silver to mirror magical potions on Nov. 18.Green, purple and silver filled Northside's hallways.
