*Wednesday, October 27th: “Dress for Success” - skirts, dresses, pants, nice shirts & ties.
*Thursday, October 28th: “Silver Strong” - Red Ribbon week's 25th anniversary! Bring a canned good in so that we may give back to the community and wear something silver (or gray)
*Friday, October 29th: Halloween Costumes or Orange & Black - School wide pumpkin scavenger hunt in the morning. Mrs. Lunghi's class is our partner class. We will be reading some stories with them after our pumpkin hunt.
HALLOWEEN FRIDAY
Kids should wear costumes to school Friday morning over their clothes. If the costume needs to have any face painting, it should be done before school - kids will not be allowed to put on any make up at school. Kids may want to take costumes off before pumpkin carving.

From 1:00-1:45, we will be enjoying the Halloween treats that some of our families will be sending while we watch "The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown". We will go out for the parade from 1:45-2:00. Once we come back inside, we will work on pumpkin carving with the help of the parents that are coming in for the party. The parents will be carving the pumpkin that the students design. Kids will get to scoop out the seeds and watch their creation 'come to life'! We will put some battery operated candles inside and write some stories about the pumpkins during the first week of November.
