WE STILL NEED PEOPLE IN OUR HAUNTED HOUSE AT FRIGHT NIGHT TO SCARE THE KIDS!! AND we need people to sell tickets to our 8th graders on Thurs and Fri mornings during lunch. AND we need someone to run the Photo Booth on Friday night! All of these jobs are fairly easy and the scaring in the Haunted House is FUN!!
PARENTS PLEASE SHARE THE INFORMATION BELOW WITH YOUR STUDENT and DON’T Forget to have them buy tickets THIS week!
The DJ will be pumping up the jams in the cafeteria and taking requests all night... Pizza and snacks will be available for purchase... Pick-up basketball and volleyball games will be shaking the rafters in the gym... and of course, there is the HAUNTED HOUSE -- for those who dare to enter!
TICKETS are $5 and will be available for purchase during lunch on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, 10/27-29. CASH ONLY. NO PAPER TICKETS are given out…..kids are checked in at the door that night. Tickets are available at the door, but we recommend buying in advance to avoid long lines.
COSTUMES are optional -- but of course, encouraged!
