Halloween – No Costumes
-
With the important health and safety requirements in place, this year continues to be one that requires difficult decisions
-
One of those difficult decisions is regarding traditions
-
A decision was made to cancel this year’s annual Halloween Parade (with the goal of having it return in the future)
-
After collaborating with teachers, another difficult decision was made to not wear Halloween costumes – no costumes, please
-
We recognize this may bring disappointment to all students, specifically our younger students, and for that we are equally disappointed
-
We continue to look forward to future Halloweens!
-
Thank you for your support and understanding
Halloween Spirit Day!
-
Knowing important restrictions bring limits and sometimes the inability to be festive and fun
-
We will not let important restrictions dampen our spirits!
-
As a result, bring on your Halloween spirit!
-
Friday, October 30th – you are encouraged to wear Halloween colors (i.e. black, orange, green, purple) or an appropriate Halloween shirt!
-
Happy Halloween!
