Book Character Pumpkin Contest
1. When should we bring in our pumpkin? All pumpkins should be brought to the library on the morning of Tuesday, October 26th.
2. Do the pumpkins have to be real? They can be real or artificial.
3. When do the pumpkins need to be picked up after the contest? All pumpkins should go home with parents/students after the Halloween parade or during dismissal on Friday, October 29th.
4. Are we allowed to carve the pumpkins? Please do not carve the pumpkins. This will prevent the pumpkins from rotting while on display. You may use a variety of materials to decorate the pumpkins.
5. How are the winning pumpkins chosen? ALL students will be voting for their favorite pumpkins in each category.
5. What is the prize for the winners? Winners in each category will receive a gift card to Barnes & Noble.

Sherwood Halloween 2021
Celebrating Halloween is a long loved tradition at Sherwood School. While our celebration will look differently than in the past, we are still planning to acknowledge this fun day.
Students may wear costumes to school on Friday, October 29. Students’ costumes should be safely designed and age appropriate to allow for adequate vision and mobility. Face coverings that impact visibility or cover the face completely cannot be worn during the day or during the parade for safety reasons, and no toy weapons of any type will be allowed at school. Costumes should be age-appropriate and school appropriate. Please also keep in mind the emotional components of group costumes on the students not involved in that group. Please be considerate and inviting to any students eager to join a group costume, and have conversations at home about being respectful to other students. We want Halloween to be a fun day for all students, and we appreciate your collaboration! We are encouraging safe and responsible behavior during this time of year, both at school and in the community. Thanks for your cooperation!
While there will be no class parties for Halloween, we will have an outdoor parade around the school. Parents and friends are invited to view the parade that begins at 12:45pm. We will share the route later this month.
Students will parade outside, weather permitting. In case of inclement weather, the parade will not take place.
As a reminder, if students have been absent from instructional activities during the day, they may not participate in the parade.
