Spooky Special Edition - Halloween Update
It's October, and that means it is time to start planning for our annual Halloween festivities! We have some fun new things planned in addition to our usual traditions! Read on for details!
PUMPKIN DECORATING CONTEST OCTOBER 26-28
PUMPKIN DECORATING CONTEST
A pumpkin decorating contest will be held October 26-28. Please read on and click below for the contest entry form.
Pumpkin Contest Drop-off October 26:
Pumpkin contest entries (decorated pumpkins and contest entry form) may be dropped off at school on October 26 from 6:00 to 7:30 pm at the Moorfield Road Entrance.
Students entering pumpkins in the contest will receive a participation certificate and a Halloween-themed bracelet to wear on October 27 to show their participation in the contest.
Contest Details:
Pumpkins will be displayed and students will vote on October 27. Winners will be announced on October 27. The categories include: people's choice (to be voted on by students), spookiest, prettiest, cutest, best character(s), best carved, funniest, most creative, most team spirit, best painted, and gross out. Fr. Steve, Fr. Cameron, Mrs. Woodman, and Mrs. Alexander will judge the other categories. There will be winners in grades K-3 and 4-8 for each category. Every entry will need a form when dropped off (see form below). Every pumpkin entry will receive at least an honorable mention ribbon, with trophies awarded for category winners.
Pumpkin Contest Pick-Up October 28:
In the past, some of the pumpkins were rotting and had to be discarded at the end of the week. As was the case in the past, the child / family will be contacted prior to discarding a pumpkin. Please talk with your child upon entering the contest about this possibility. We will do everything we can to preserve the pumpkins so that they will be able to be brought home at the end of the week. Pumpkins will be picked up October 28 as students are dismissed. An area will be set up near the junior high doors so students can pick up their pumpkins as they go to the car line for dismissal. For your child's safety, if he or she will be bringing home a pumpkin, please plan for a car ride on October 28 or ask a friend to bring the pumpkin home to avoid pumpkins being carried onto buses.
TRUNK OR TREAT OCTOBER 27 - RSVP BY OCTOBER 14
HALLOWEEN PARADE & FESTIVITIES OCTOBER 31
COSTUMES
Students should come to school on October 31 dressed in as much of their Halloween costumes as possible. Costume add-ons that can be easily put on may be brought to school in a bag. Please remember that students will be learning as usual for most of the day, so costumes need to accommodate sitting at desks and doing school work. Costume masks may not be worn in class.
TREATS AND ACTIVITIES
Treats and activities for the day will be provided by class room moms. Students will participate in games in classrooms following the parade. Please do not send treats from home.
PARADE
We will have our school Halloween parade on October 31 at 1:45 pm.
IF WEATHER IS DRY:
Students will walk the outdoor parade route with buddies. Parents may come to the school to watch the parade.
IF WEATHER IS WET:
Students will walk the indoor parade route with buddies. Parents may come to Horning Hall to watch the parade.
GRADE 3 ALL SAINTS DAY - NOVEMBER 1
Third graders will celebrate All Saints Day on November 1. Third graders should wear their saint costumes to school, and bring dress down clothes and shoes in a bag. Third graders will process in at the school Mass on November 1 at 9:30 am. Immediately following Mass, third graders will remain in the church for the traditional "Guess the Saints" activity. Parents may attend both Mass and Guess the Saints. Following these events, third graders will change into dress down clothes for the remainder of the day.
