March 31, 2016 - Poodle skirts, bell bottoms and leg warmers clashed with leather jackets, cowboy hats and flapper dresses during the Decade Parade celebrating 10 years at Academy Days Co-op recently. Students dressed up to represent decades from the Roaring '20s through the Awesome '80s -- and even the 1880s and 1480s!
