Marion Elementary School students Larry Zieammermann, Hap Waddell, and Devin Soyez presented “The Big Spook,” a restaurant-themed Halloween party for classmates Sunday.

After Halloween games, guests were treated to a meal of scary-named items, including unappetizers and dead bread.

Beginning when they were in kindergarten, “Scary” Larry, “Howling” Hap, and “Devilish” Devin arranged themed Halloween parties, with generous help from their families.

Each year, the group has invited their classmates and donated all proceeds to a local charity. This year’s funds were donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Marion County. The boys expanded the event to include kindergarteners, with help from younger siblings Anderson Waddell, Johnny Zieammermann, and Mickelly Soyez.

“Next year we’re doing a hotel,” Larry said.
