Halloween Costume Drive Continues...
For most children’s shelters, Halloween costumes do not make the list of essentials in the budget. By collecting new and gently used costumes from our generous students and teachers, Schimelpfenig ensures that children served by City House do not feel left out while everyone else is celebrating.
Please note that Student Council is collecting new and slightly used children and teens’ costumes. All costumes and accessories should be placed in a plastic bag with the size labeled. Please help Student Council in making "spooktacular" memories for deserving children by sponsoring the costume drive which will end on October 23rd.
STUCO Kindness Challenge Continues
Student Council will be starting a kindness challenge for all of our students.
How is this going to work, you ask? The teachers will have strips of paper and when a student sees another student doing something kind, they will ask a teacher for the paper. The student will put the other student’s name on the strip and then give it back to the teacher. Student Council will start a chain going across the atrium, and we are hoping that it will go around it a few times. The paper chains will serve as a reminder to be kind to all. Each link will symbolizes a random act of kindness that has been noticed by teachers or students. Let’s cover Schimelpfenig in kindness!

Fun Halloween Facts
- Scottish girls believed they could see images of their future husband if they hung wet sheets in front of the fire on Halloween. Other girls believed they would see their boyfriend’s faces if they looked into mirrors while walking downstairs at midnight on Halloween.
- Harry Houdini (1874-1926) was one of the most famous and mysterious magicians who ever lived. Strangely enough, he died in 1926 on Halloween night as a result of appendicitis brought on by three stomach punches.
Education is not filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire.
