Principal's Memo
October 30-November 3, 2023
A Message from Dr. Harris
Henderson Family!
As Halloween approaches, I want to remind you of the importance of ensuring a safe and enjoyable celebration for our students. While Halloween is a time for fun and creativity, it's crucial to prioritize safety. Please ensure that your children's costumes are comfortable, flame-resistant, and easy to move in. Remind them to stay on well-lit paths when trick-or-treating and to carry flashlights or glow sticks for visibility. Additionally, please check all candy before consumption to ensure it's sealed and safe. Let's make this Halloween a memorable and secure experience for our students. Have a SPOOKTACULAR time!
