Oct. 31st: Halloween Parade -
All students can arrive at school dressed in their costumes*. At 9 a.m., we will parade around the perimeter of the Smiley Building. Then, we will celebrate with a dance party on the West Smiley Lawn. Students will then partake in a harvest celebration** in their classrooms.
*We ask that students not wear scary masks or bring pretend weapons to school. We are a community school serving children ages 3-12 and request that we keep our younger friends in mind when preparing costumes.
**Unlike in years past, we will not be trick-or-treating but rather having healthy snacks in our classrooms. Parents are still invited to view or participate in our Halloween parade/ dance party! Thank you!
