The Westmoreland Wrap Up
October 27, 2023
SOCK-TOBER SOCK-CESS!
Our 4th grade Good Will Ambassadors worked very hard making posters to hang, counting donations and educating our younger students about the drive and how they can help others.
We are so grateful for all of your donations which, in turn, has allowed us to teach very important life lessons to our students. These good will endeavors provide our students with a sense of perspective, help them appreciate all they have in their lives and foster the importance of having empathy for others.
Halloween Information
Students are invited to wear their costumes to school on Tuesday, October 31st. We are hoping for sunny skies so students can parade outside in their costumes at 2:15!
Orange cones will line the parade route. We will be exiting the Kindergarten doors near the turtle statue, parading up the sidewalk, past the front doors of our school, across the blacktop, in through the library doors and around for loop 2!
All parents are invited to attend and enjoy the costumes.
We ask that even if the parade ends a few minutes before the end of the school day-that you refrain from signing your child out of school. This leads to massive congestion and chaos in the office right before the dismissal bell rings. Please wait just a few minutes until dismissal at 3pm.
In the event of rain, I will send an email if we need to cancel the parade.
To ensure a safe and productive school day, please adhere to the following guidelines:
Please be sure your child’s costume fits properly and is not too long.
Please leave fake weapons or props that accompany the costume at home, as they may not be appropriate for our school environment.
The costume you wear must allow you to sit, stand or move around the classroom without difficulty.
Costumes should be appropriate and not offensive to others.
We are looking forward to a fun Halloween!
