HARVEST ACTIVITIES
On Monday, October 31st, the Park Elementary School Harvest Activities will take place. Listed below is some information that you will need to know concerning Harvest activities at Park School.
* Monday, October 31st , is considered an instructional day until 1:45 p.m. Students will be ready for the parade beginning at 2:00 p.m.
* If students choose to bring a costume to change into for the Parade around the Village Square, they should follow the school guidelines.
* Supervision can be provided for any students not participating in the Harvest party activities or parents may also pick up their students.
SOME GUIDELINES ABOUT COSTUMES:
* Students should not come to school dressed in costume or wearing any type of make-up or dyed hair. Costumes should be carried in a bag or delivered to the office by a parent before 1:45 p.m.
* Masks that restrict vision should not be worn.
* Costume length should not cause your child to trip or fall.
* Children's costumes should not require that they wave or carry anything in their hands (i.e. swords, guns, etc.).
* Costumes should be appropriate for elementary students.
* Any costume not appropriate for school or in good taste, will not be permitted to be worn.
The time frame is as follows for Monday, October 31st:
1:45 – 2:00 Children dress in costumes.
2:00 - 2:20 Parade around Village Square
2:20 – 3:15 Harvest homeroom party activities
3:15 - 3:25 Prepare for dismissal
Parents are invited to park on the square and enjoy our parade, however, those room parents conducting the class parties are the only adults invited back to the classrooms. Younger siblings are not invited to classroom parties. This distracts from your child’s classroom party experience.
If there is inclement weather, the parade will be held in the building and the students will go from room to room. Homeroom parties will continue as planned.
We hope that the students enjoy their festive experience. A big “THANKS” to Mrs. Ghobrial and the room mothers for their assistance in the Harvest parties.
We hope that your family has a safe “TRICK OR TREAT" experience. Please note that the City of Chardon’s "TRICK OR TREAT" will be observed on Monday, October 31st, from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Looking for Veterans to Honor at Our Assembly!
Park School will be having a short assembly honoring our veterans on Friday, November 11, 2022 at 9:45am. We would like to invite parents/relatives of our students who have served in the Armed Forces to attend this program. We would ask veterans to wear their uniforms, if possible. We would like to give each veteran an opportunity to share (1-5 minutes) with our audience their years of service, area of service in the Armed Forces, and what being a veteran means to them.
*Note: We are also asking that our Boy and Girl Scouts wear their uniforms for this day.*
