What's Happening This Week----October 30th Through November 3rd

Halloween----Please send your child's Halloween costume to school, in a sack, on Tuesday, October 31st.  That way, your child will be prepared to change into their Halloween costume when their classmates change into their costume.  If you plan on bringing your child's Halloween costume to school when you come to help at the Halloween Party, something may come up and you may run late to school.  Then, the child gets worried that they won't be changing into their costume, in time for the Halloween Parade, and the child starts crying. Thanks for your understanding and help in this matter, by sending your child's Halloween costume to school with your child.
