Halloween Information

Halloween is just around the corner! We will be celebrating on Friday, October 28^th.  Here are a few things you should know:

Costumes: This year we are asking that your child come to school already dressed in their costume. It takes too long for one teacher to dress every single child in the class. Costumes should be school appropriate. This means that your child should be able to get themselves in and out of their costume by themselves in order to use the bathroom! We do not want any of the children to have an accident because they cannot undo their costume! Please keep this in mind when selecting a costume to wear to school.  Mr. Short has asked that all accessories to costumes be left at home. These items include, but are not limited to, masks, wands, swords, guns, etc.

Costume Parade: Parents are welcome to come to the parade! At 9:30am we will have a costume parade out on the track. Each grade will be called out to the track and will have the opportunity to walk around the track 2 -3 times and show off their costumes to the rest of the school! You will not want to miss out on seeing all of the kiddos in their costumes! Don’t forget your camera!

Classroom Party: We will have a classroom party with centers for the children to participate in different activities.  Due to limited space and general chaos that is created by having 50+ people in one room, parents will not be allowed to attend our Halloween centers.

The centers are as follows:

1. Toilet Paper Pumpkin Craft
2. Candy Corn Craft
3. Halloween Bingo
4. Sugar Cookie Decorating
5. Sugar Skull Bean Bag Toss
6. Pin the Eye on the Monster

Trick or Treating: We will have a trick or treating portion to our day! The children will be given a brown paper lunch bag to decorate to use as their trick or treating bag. If you would like to participate, you may send in edible or nonedible treats with your child to be passed out. Please label the bag with your student’s name so we can make sure they pass out the correct treats. We have 24 students in our class. No candy will be eaten in class. Children will bring everything home and you can determine what is appropriate for your child to eat.
