Dear Parents:

There will be a Halloween Party in class on Friday, October 28 in the afternoon. We are celebrating on this day instead of October 31, because of our Field Trip on October 31. If students have costumes, they should wear them on Friday October 28, and they will keep them on all day. Students will be marching in a Halloween Parade beginning at about 9:30 that day. There will be a sign up sheet for the Halloween Party if you would like to bring in an item to share with the class. I will not need any parent helpers at the party. Students will pass their own items, and watch a movie. Please consider signing up for a healthy item, such as fruit, cheese, or vegetables, rather than so many sweets. I will also need plates, napkins, cups, and drinks. Thank you!
