Wednesday October 24

Only one week until the Halloween Carnival!!!!

We are getting really excited about our upcoming carnival
next Wednesday from 1:00-3:00.

Students are allowed to wear their costumes to school
in the morning, but will need to keep masks
and cumbersome accessories
off in the morning.

Also, we ask that you please not to send weapons with the kids' costumes.
I know that pirates, for instance, often have a sword,
and they are allowed to have those during the carnival
as long as they don't use them against each other.

However, we discourage guns, knves and the like at school,
and we ask that your kids keep them at home.

Jen put a letter in everybody's parent boxes today
with a list of what we need to make the carnival another excellent event.

As usual, Aly's class will turn the playhouse into a haunted house,
so feel free to send in decorations.
We will also have fun games for the kids to play.

Please be aware that we make a candy exception at school
on Halloween- we have surrendered, and yes, we do give out candy.

If your kids have special dietary needs or you would like to
discourage excessive sugar intake- feel free to bring healthy snacks.
We would appreciate it.

Remember that November 1st is a minimum day,
so school will be over at 1:10.

There will be aftercare as usual,
but everyone usually seems tired
on the day after all the excitement.


I also want to mention that we have had quite a lot of
parent volunteerism so far this year,
and we appreciate you all so much.

Thank you!
