Boulder Hill Halloween Happenings
On Friday, October 28, Boulder Hill Elementary School will have its Halloween classroom parties. We want to ensure that this day will be a safe and fun day for all students. Attached please find the guidelines that have been developed to assist Boulder Hill staff and volunteers in providing a safe and enjoyable event for each of our students. PLEASE NOTE: If any family does not want their student to participate in the activities on this date, please notify the classroom teacher. Students not participating will be supervised by a Boulder Hill staff member and a non-related alternative will be provided.
Here's a list of scheduled Halloween events:
- PTA Halloween Trunk & Treat (Saturday, October 22)
- Halloween Classroom Parties (Friday, October 28 @ 2:30 pm)
- PTA Bingo Night (Friday, October 28 @ 6 pm )
Día de los Muertos (Day of the dead)
Boulder Hill will celebrate Día de los Muertos (Day of the dead), which honors the life of a loved one who has passed away. If you would like to join in the celebration, you can fill out the paper that will be sent home with students. There, you can write about a loved one, and explain why they were special in your child's life. In the box, they can draw a picture or include a photograph of that special person. We will use the sheet to decorate the altar that will be placed in the main hallway of the school.
Please return the project no later than Friday, October 21st, and make sure to write your child’s name, as well as the his/her teacher’s.
Thank you,
The BH Rocks Committee
Message from the Music
If you do not want your child to participate in celebrations during the upcoming holiday's this school year, please notify your child's teacher. If you have a suggestion on what you child may do as he/she sits out of holiday activities please include that in your commiunication. We do not want any of our students feeling uncomfortable or left out.
