Cozy Classroom Costumes

Allendale teachers Allison Law and Alyssa Spagnuolo show their school spirit during New Jersey’s annual Week of Respect.

Halloween is still two weeks away, but Allison Law and Alyssa Spagnuolo are already excited to wear costumes. To help celebrate New Jersey’s annual Week of Respect, the two science teachers at Allendale’s Brookside School joined the rest of the staff for a wardrobe change. “We dressed up in cozy pajamas,” says Law, who posted this photo of the unplanned costume coordination. The Week of Respect promotes awareness, education and activities geared to end harassment, intimidation and bullying. The teachers also passed along a message to students to “respect your dreams,” Law adds. For more of what’s going on around Bergen County, follow us on Instagram @bergenmagnj.
