Attendance Awareness
Attending school has a huge impact on student success. Click HERE to see how one area business is partnering with Cottonwood and Sunflower Elementary to promote good attendance and student success.
HALLOWEEN HAPPENINGS
Hoot & Howl-A Festive Event featuring Introduction of Staff Costumes and Festive Student Presentations
All students are invited to find a Halloween or Fall poem or song for sharing at this big event. You may share individually or with a small group of your friends.
Students are encouraged to dress up and/or use props to bring a poem or song to life. These poems and songs must be memorized as you will present them in front of the student body.
Any student choosing to participate must bring a copy of their poem/song to Mrs. Wokutch and have it approved prior to sharing. If you want to join the spooktacular fun, find a poem/song and turn it in to Mrs. Wokutch by Wednesday, October 26th. Be sure to include your name and the names in your group if doing a group presentation. You will receive a confirmation from Mrs. Wokutch that your poem has been approved.
Halloween Costumes-Students will still be able to wear their costumes at school with the following guidelines:
- Students choosing to dress up may wear their costume to school. Students will not be able to change into their costumes during the day so it should be something they are comfortable wearing all day. As always, costumes should be school appropriate without reference to blood, guts, gore, and/or guns.
- Face paint and costume masks are discouraged for all students. If a costume has a mask, and a student is in modified quarantine, the student will be required to wear a face mask underneath. A costume mask cannot be worn in lieu of a face mask.
Sunflower Pumpkin Patch-Family Project
The theme for the pumpkin patch this year is WILD about Sunflower!
As a family, decorate a jungle themed pumpkin to be on display at Sunflower Elementary. Think WILD animals, animal prints, safari, etc... be creative!
Use any kid-friendly material (paint, cloth, paper, etc) to decorate your pumpkin.
Please, no carved pumpkins.
Prizes will be awarded to the top WILD about Sunflower pumpkins. There will be lots of fun and unique categories.
Pumpkins may be brought to school October 17-28. Judging will be October 31st. Winners will be announced October 31st. Pumpkins will go home with students on October 31 after the classroom parties.
Halloween Parade & Parties
Halloween Parties-Halloween parties will be held after the Cottonwood Sunflower Parade. Each classroom teacher will send out information with their classroom specifics.
Halloween Parade-We are excited to announce that we will be having our annual Halloween Parade with Cottonwood this year. Students will walk a large loop beginning in the bus loop of each building. Students will walk along both sides of 303rd entering the bus loop of the other school and circling back to their own school. See the map below.
Families are invited to attend the parade. You will be able to see both schools from any of the viewing locations on the map. Please abide by the following guidelines:
- Parents may park in any of the school parking lots (CW, SES, PMS, or PHS) and walk to a viewing area.
- Parade visitors must stay in the viewing areas.
