We Need Your Trunk!
We want to make this a great event for our kids, and we need you…and your trunk! Reserve your spot then arrive at the school by 12:30 with your trunk decorated and full of candy to pass out to our students. We will have two rows of parking spots blocked off for cars.
Candy Donations Needed
If you can’t make it, you can still help by donating a bag of candy that will help keep our trunks stocked! Pleases send a sealed bag in to school with your child prior to October 28.
PLEASE NOTE THE BACK PARKING LOT WILL BE CLOSED FROM 12:30 – 1:45 (NO ENTERING OR EXITING) IN ORDER TO KEEP OUR KIDS SAFE.
Costume Guidelines
Children will be allowed to come to school in their costumes. No scary costumes or costumes with any sort of weapons will be allowed.
Field Trip News
Field Trips this Week!
1st grade will be visiting the Houston Zoo on Oct. 22.
Please pray for safe travels for our students and their chaperones.
Field Trip Shirts
**Please note these are NOT the crusader spirit shirts that were ordered and paid for online. These are the field trip shirts that are paid for by the student acitivty fee and parents were given an opportunity to order one for themselves via the Crusader Chronicle. Payment would have then been sent in directly to the school office. Unfortunately, we were not able to order any parent shirts that were not paid for by the deadline.
