Schedule for the Week of Oct. 28- Nov. 1

We have a very busy week ahead of us!  Thursday is our Halloween party and parade and Friday is Grandfriends' Day! 

Halloween Party Reminder:  We will put costumes on before our party.  Please don't send your  child to school wearing their costume.  Also, please make sure costumes are not bloody/violent and do not send in any type of weapon that accompanies the costume.  Thank you! Parents, if you would like to watch the parade, you are welcome to do so, you need to check-in at the office by 2:15pm and you can watch the parade in the gym.

Grandfriends' Day Reminder:  If you haven't turned in your RSVP forms yet, please do so ASAP.  We need these to determine end of the day plans and how many chairs we need.  Also, this event is for Grandparents/Grandfriends only (sorry parents :( We will hopefully film the performance and share that out).
