Parade 8:00am
Parties 8:15-9:15am
STUDENTS:
> Wear costumes to school
> Weapons are not permitted
> Costumes should not use face paint, students who arrive at school with face paint will be asked to wash it off
> Masks are acceptable (until it becomes a distraction)
> Students gather in gym until school starts
PARENTS:
As we did last year, the Halloween Parade will be in front of the elementary building. We ask parents to line up outside (starting a little before 8 am -after buses and cars clear). Parents may go to classrooms early to drop off items or setup games if needed. Due to space, please do not join your child in the gym. Students will leave the gym through the front doors and parade in front of the building, walking toward the playground. They will then enter the back doors and go to classrooms. Parents are welcome to visit classrooms from 8:15-9:15 am after the parade.
2nd Quarter Service Project
Change Bandit
Our second quarter project is a partnership with the University of Missouri Children's Hospital called Change Bandit. The concept is simple: gather up loose change and make a big difference in the lives of children who come to Children's Hospital every day. We encourage you to ask family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers to donate their loose change to the fundraising effort.
We will have activities throughout 2nd quarter such as hat days and rock-paper-scissors tournaments to help raise money for this cause. More information will go home at a later date.
