Walk & Bike to School Day
Wednesday, was Walk & Bike to School Day and we had an incredible turnout of students, families, staff, Mayor Brummel, Warrenville Police & Fire, and of course our incredible crossing guard, Pam!
Halloween!
The halls are already a buzz with excitement for Halloween. We are looking forward to a more traditional Halloween at Bower compared to last year. Our plan for October 29th will be the following:
- 2:00 Students put costumes on at school
- 2:15 Outside Costume Parade
- 2:30-3:15 Class Parties
Safety Information:
- Classroom parties are coordinated by the classroom parent coordinator.
- Classroom parties are only allowed to have three parent volunteers per room. This will be organized by the parent coordinator, not the teacher.
- Classroom Parent Volunteers will sign in and be masked.
- If weather permits and the Costume Parade is outside, families are invited to spectate outside. If the weather requires us to move the parade inside, it will be a students only parade. Fingers crossed for good weather!
- Please send your child to school with a costume that they are able to put on, on their own. Our lunches go from 11:30-2:00, so all students will be putting costumes on at 2:00. Please make sure your child is able to dress in their costume on their own.
We are so happy and excited to have a more traditional Halloween. And I am very excited about my costume. And if you've seen the car rider line, you'll get the joke. :-)
