Monday, October 31st

- students may wear a costume that allows for movement and a safe space for others. No weapons, no masks, and no clowns.  Please also be aware that costumes could come home with some wear and tear.

- We will celebrate throughout the day with fun activities.  If you wish to bring a snack to share please make it as healthy as possible as we know students will be receiving sweet treats throughout the day.  We have been focusing on monsters with our writing, music and other activities.  A monster snack would be fun to bring. Let me know if you wish to contribute.

- Our Leadership Program is asking to bring in an item for the food bank in exchange for a treat. Your child may wish to participate in this.
