Care Packages for the Homeless

In the spirit of giving back this November River Oaks School wants to help the homeless in our area. How we want to do this is by creating care packages filled with everyday essentials, but we can’t do it without your HELP!

We are asking each grade to bring in items to complete our Care Packages:

Kindergarten: Adult Socks

1st Grade: Travel Size Tissues

2nd Grade: Travel Size Toothpaste & Toothbrush

3rd Grade: Adult Gloves

4th Grade: Travel Size Deodorant

5TH Grade: 8oz Water & Granola bars

Each grade with the most donations by November 22nd, 2019 will win a Pizza Party provided by the PTA.

Please help us reach our goal of 200 bags!

Halloween

River Oaks Halloween Information

On Thursday, October 31st, students will be allowed to bring costumes to school. Students will not be able to wear their costumes during the morning, but may put them on in the afternoon prior to our Halloween Parade at 2:15 PM. Weather permitting, we will walk around the neighborhood of the school during the parade and then have time for class parties. Parents are welcome to participate in the parade around the neighborhood, but must check into the office first in order to obtain a visitor’s pass. If it rains the parade will be around the inside of the school.

Notes about costumes:

PLEASE DO NOT WEAR COSTUMES TO SCHOOL. Instead, bring your labeled costume in a bag, with your student’s name on it. Students will be able to change into their costumes in the afternoon. Students may NOT dress up as anything that contains, bloody looking, or would be considered scary for younger students who may be frightened by these costumes. Weapons or toys that resemble weapons are NOT permitted. Most classrooms will have their parties at 2:45 – 3:15, please check your classroom teacher’s blog for more information.

A note is also going home today about this notice…
