Halloween:
Join us for our Annual Halloween Parade on Friday, October 30th at 9:00am! Classrooms will be led by homeroom teachers outside to our track and take two laps. Family and friends are welcome to attend, but must remain outside until all classrooms have finished. Family and friends that are staying for classroom celebrations must check in and sign in through the front office. Please send kids who want to participate in Halloween activities in costumes, with a change of clothing for after Halloween Celebration. No fake blood or weapons are permitted. It's great fun to see adults dress up as well, but we ask they follow the same guidelines as the students. In addition, we ask that adults do not wear masks as part of a costume for safety reasons.
