Please join us for our traditional Halloween Parade on Monday, October 31, 2016 beginning at 12:45 p.m. As the Christian perspective on the observance of Halloween is divided, it is mandatory that all costumes be in good taste and sensitive to all opinions. Students will not be able to wear costumes resembling witches, ghosts, skeletons, vampires, mummies, monsters, etc. In addition, no masks or props resembling any forms of violence or negative connotation will be allowed. If a child is dressed inappropriately, they will need to call home for a change of clothes and will not be able to participate. Please remember when sending treats for classroom celebrations, to not send any items containing peanut products. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Tomorrow is our scheduled Special Lunch and Raffle day. Please keep in mind that if you did not preorder a lunch for your child to please send one from home as there will be no regular Food Service provided. We would like to extend our thanks to the Pilch and Rzepka families for sharing the delicious treats with us. They were enjoyed by all. Have a pleasant weekend. Sincerely, Eva M. Panczyk
