Dear Families,
I know your first grader can't wait to show off their costumes! It will certainly be a day filled with excitement! On Thursday, students should wear their costumes to school. Please make sure your child can use the restroom on their own with their costume. The Costume Parade starts at 8:30 on the Primary Playground. Our class party will begin at about 8:50 (following the parade). Parents are welcome to stay for the party. Please find childcare for younger siblings.
Please read our school newsletter for information about Halloween costumes, https://www.smore.com/h6zkv
Thank you to our parent helpers this week!
Our class would appreciate donations of baby wipes.
I hope you have a great weekend.
