From Tim: Two Quintessential Stanley Events
Dear Families,
After the drastic weather changes earlier this month, it’s been awful nice to enjoy some seasonal fall weather the past week or so. The turning and dropping of the leaves marks the beginning of a series of Stanley traditions running through the holidays.
We have a couple of quintessential Stanley events coming up soon, one featuring the playfulness of our children and the other providing a chance for our adults to take the stage. Like many of our long-standing traditions, the annual Halloween Parade and the Stanley Coffeehouse bring the community together to celebrate creativity, joyfulness, self-expression, and the unique spirit that defines our school.
This year’s Stanley Coffeehouse, this Saturday, October 27, is brought to you by a group of energetic and dedicated volunteer parents, supported by our Community Engagement team. For those new to the event, the Coffeehouse has been described in many ways, including “Best Date Night of the Year.” If you’ve attended before, you can attest to the quality of talent, or at least the enthusiasm, of our performers, drawn from our own staff and parent community. We still have tickets available, and I hope you will consider coming -- you won’t be disappointed!
The morning of Wednesday, October 31, you are invited to our Halloween Parade-Pageant-Assembly-Show in the gym, beginning at 8:30 a.m. This tradition is one of the many truly student-centered events throughout the year. We strive each year to make the event enjoyable and safe for all, and we ask that you help us by reviewing costume choices with your child or children. Please be aware that certain costumes can be culturally insensitive or stereotyping and may be offensive to particular groups or individuals within our school community. While we certainly do not want to dampen the creativity nor the slight irreverence of the event, we also have no intention of causing anyone to feel alienated. Also, older students planning scary costumes are reminded that our younger children can be easily frightened by masks and excessive gore.
All the best,
Tim
