Get excited for the Halloween Parade!
Dear Lower School Families,
What a fabulous day of Book Fair Fun on Thursday! We enjoyed visiting Raether Library and seeing the amazing Pumpkin Pageant created by Lower School students. Thank you to Dusty Fitzgerald, our Book Fair coordinator, and our many volunteers for helping to make the Book Fair such a success! Happy reading this weekend!
We are preparing for our Lower School Halloween celebration on Friday, October 29. Students are invited to wear their costume to school. A reminder for Halloween costume guidelines:
All Lower School students are invited to wear a costume to school for the day. It is not required; we recognize that some families do not celebrate Halloween. Students are expected to follow the costume guidelines below if they wish to wear a costume.
- Make sure that your costume is comfortable, since it will be worn during the day. We are requesting minimal make-up as well. Students will wear a face mask throughout the day according to our indoor guidelines.
- Costumes should be individual. Do not wear a costume that requires more than one person to be present. All parts of the costume must fit through a doorway, and it should be manageable independently by the student. The costume may not take up an inordinate amount of space in the classroom.
- Inflatable costumes are not permitted for students, due to the possibility of a costume puncture or battery/inflating malfunctions. These costumes are also difficult to manage throughout the day.
- Fake weapons are not permitted (e.g., guns, swords, knives, hatchets, pitchforks, etc.). If it is questionable...do not bring it! Wands are okay!
- All costumes should be culturally appropriate. Costumes should not reinforce stereotypes or be culturally insensitive; the costume should not make fun of real people, human traits, or cultures.
- Everyone needs to be considerate of the younger students. Costumes should not be too gruesome or have fake blood on them. Please save this type of costume for trick-or-treating.
Have a wonderful weekend!
