Books and gifts given to children at White House Halloween party
Spokesperson of Janpier, each ministry also set up a booth… hand out candy.
U.S. President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill Biden, presented not only candy but also books in abundance to thousands of attendees at the White House Halloween party on the evening of the 30th (local time) despite the gloomy, rainy weather.
This day’s event, titled “Hello-READ!,” was a special event where the First Lady handed out books and read stories. In addition to Jill, White House Press Secretary Currin Janpier, Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona, and the author of the book They participated.
Mrs. Biden came out dressed up with cat ears, a tail, and a black nose, and explained that the costume was based on her cat Willow.
“Have fun everyone and eat lots of candy and chocolate,” Ms. Jill said after reading a story to the colorfully dressed children.
Aide Janpier wore angelic clothing with a round halo above her head. He said he liked it better than the devil’s costume.
On this day, President Biden and his wife invited children from local public schools and military families to the White House and had a great time reading stories and playing games together for about 90 minutes.
As children dressed in Halloween costumes walked into the White House driveway, the President put chocolates in small cardboard boxes with the White House stamp into the children’s bags or containers, and First Lady Jill Biden handed out books.
The White House announced that the ‘Halloween’ event was an idea created by Jill Biden, who has worked as a teacher all her life. The military band played children’s favorite songs, including ‘Monster Mash’, throughout the event.
A total of 8,000 people were invited to the White House event that day. In the west yard, each department and agency of the federal government also participated, setting up their own booths stocked with all kinds of candies and chocolates and serving them to children.
