In order to make this event a success, we are asking for a few more people to sign up to decorate their car/truck trunk and pass out candy. The decorations can be as elaborate or as simple as you'd like, and prizes will be awarded in a number of categories. Don't miss out on the fun and register today!

Other Fall Activities Information
On Friday, October 29th, students are welcome to bring their costumes to school in a bag. Later in the day, students will dress in their costumes for a small parade for students and staff. The parade will not be open for public viewing. After the parade, the students will return to their classrooms for a fun fall activity with their teacher and classmates. Food and drink will not be served during that time unless it is regular classroom snack time.
In addition, families are once again invited to decorate, carve, or paint a pumpkin to display on the front property of our school. Please remember that pumpkins should be decorated appropriately for elementary school students. Undecorated or uncarved pumpkins are also welcome!
