Halloween Celebrations and Costumes
We are excited for the Halloween celebrations this Friday! Halloween will look a bit different this year. While we cannot have a parade and parents cannot come in for parties, students are welcome to wear costumes. Students can wear costumes, but whatever they wear they need to come to school dressed in their costumes OR they can put their costume on over their clothes in the classroom. Students are not allowed to get dressed in the bathroom. Please keep in mind if you send your child to school in their costume they will be eating in it, go to recess in it and participating in physical education in it.
As always please, nothing scare or gory and regular PPE masks are expected. You might want to think about a modified or simplified costume. A few ideas might be:
- Superman's cape, no mask or helmet
- A skeleton shirt and pants, no mask
- A pirate's eye patch and shirt - no sword or parrot
- A football player's jersey (no pads, no helmet)
- A baby's pajamas
- A princess's sash and tiara - no ball gown, no make up ... highly impractical for the playground or gym class (consider "Cinderella does yoga class" and bejeweled sweatshirt and tiara instead of a ballgown.)
- Karate kid - Karategi outfit
- Ninja - ninja outfit without the mask
- Cowboy - jeans, western shirt, chaps - no whip or rope
- Zombie - old, torn clothes, no make up
Teachers will play games and do fun activities. Since we cannot have outside food brought in Food Services will be providing a special Halloween treat. It will be a pre-packaged (nut-free) cookie. Students with dairy and/or gluten allergies will be given a Fruit Roll-Up.
Virtual families, your teachers will be planning fun activities too! We will have cookies (or a Fruit Roll-Up) for your students as well. Students and families are welcome come to Silver Springs and get your cookie too! A box will be outside of the front doors on October 30th from 8:00am - 4:30pm.
Teachers will be communicating on the specifics of their Halloween celebrations.

Leader in Me - Habit 3: Put First Things First
This week’s Habit: Habit #3 Put First Things First- "Work First, Then Play"
What this means: Focus on what is important, schedule the important things first. Don’t be a dreamer - stay focused!
“I spend my time on things that are most important.”
“I say no to things I know I should not do.”
“I set priorities, make a schedule, and follow my plan.”
“I am disciplined and organized.”
How can I do this in my life?
1. Do your homework as soon as you come home from school.
2. Do something you have been putting off for a long time.
3. Think about your most important responsibilities. Do them first.
Great Books for Habit #3- Put First Things First
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle
Pokey and the Spelling Test by Sean Covey
How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss
Whistle for Willie by Ezra Jack Keats
Froggy Gets Dressed by Jonathan London
