Halloween Party:

Please send your child's costume to school in a bag with their name on it.  Please no weapons, makeup or high heel shoes.  We will change in to our costumes at 12:30.  Parent volunteers may arrive at 12:30.  The parade begins about 1:00 with the older classes going through the wax museum first.  We will not be going, but we will follow at the end of the parade and join the school Halloween parade downtown and back.  Once we arrive back we will get out of our costumes and enjoy our snack and pass out any treats friends  have brought to share.  We will enjoy a Halloween movie before going to recess and then home.
