Our Halloween party is on Wednesday!!! We will begin the festivities with a parade
which will begin at 1:15. Students need to bring their costume to school on Wednesday. The costume might need to be simplified for school purposes since students need to be able to change in a short amount of time. Changing will take place in the classrooms. The fifth grade will have designated classrooms for girls to change in and for boys. Washrooms will not be available for costume changing. No weapons, even fake, are allowed at school.
Thanks to the parents who are helping out with the party!
Remember, candy treats are not allowed at school.
No School on Monday, October 29th due to teacher meetings.
