Halloween Costumes and Candy
With Halloween is just around the corner we wanted to remind students that costumes need to be school appropriate and respectful (ie. Witch and Vampire Costumes are OK, but blood, gore or scary masks are not). Fake weapons (ie. swords, guns, knifes, etc.) are not acceptable either.

Also, students can bring 1 piece of chocolate or a bag of chips to school each day for the week following halloween. Any extra pieces will go to the principal:) No suckers or chewy candy please as they can be choking hazards.
