Fall Parties
Fall parties are scheduled for Friday, October 29 and will be for PRE staff and students. The parade will begin at 3:15, and families who want to view the parade will be able to find a spot to watch as we parade outside. Details about the route will be communicated next week.
You can help us to keep our fall celebration day safely on track by following these easy guidelines!
First, please remember that although students are invited to wear costumes to the fall parties, those costumes should be designed to be entertaining, not actually scary for our littlest cougars and bigger cougars (and Mrs. Fulcher). No blood, no guts, no gore, no weapons and no violence, please.
All students need to bring costumes to school in their backpacks or bag marked with their name. Time will be given for students to change into their costumes.
Please save some excitement for evening trick-or-treating by leaving hair and face paint at home with extra costume parts like swords and daggers. Face masks are fine as long as kids can see well enough to walk safely during the parade which will start at 3:15 P.M.
