Dear Fiske Families,
Parents and guardians are invited to join us for our annual Halloween Parade on Tuesday, October 31st at 8:45 a.m. If your child/children is/are participating in the parade, costumes should reflect our Fiske Fundamentals; Fair, Inclusive, Safe, Kind and Encouraging. Children should not wear costumes that promote stereotypes or bias towards any groups of people. In addition, children should not wear masks, wigs or face paint. We also ask that all props are left at home.
Please inform your child’s classroom teacher if they prefer to not walk in the parade. A fall activity will take place in the library for students who are not participating in the parade.
