Halloween Parade
"SAY BOO TO DRUGS" COSTUME PARADE - FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27TH
All families are invited to join us for a fun Community Gathering from 9-10:30 a.m. on 10/27 that will consist of a costume parade as we conclude Red Ribbon Week and "Say BOO to Drugs!" Parade schedule below:
Approximate Parade Times:
9:00--4th and 5th grade
9:05--1st and 2nd grade
9:10--3rd grade
9:15--TK and K
Students may wear appropriate and family-friendly costumes to school. Participation is optional and costumes must be in accordance with the rules listed below:
Costume Rules
Please avoid any costumes that represent gangs, violence, drugs, or vulgarity--Be mindful of our youngest learners.
Masks can be worn for the parade but must be removed throughout the remainder of the school day.
Make-up can also be worn but should be comfortable enough to be worn through the school day and must not be too graphic (again be mindful of our young students).
We recommend that students wear their regular clothes underneath their costume so that costumes can be easily removed after the parade, if the costume becomes uncomfortable or gets in the way of normal school activities. Have your child bring a grocery bag or similar to store their costume away.
Please leave costume props at home. No weapons of any kind.
