 Dear Parents,

All children are to come to school in their costumes tomorrow, we will not have time to change them at school.  We will begin our day with a Halloween Parade around the school at 9am. The 8th graders have also invited us to more Halloween festivities in the lunchroom, where they will be holding a bake sale.  The children are allowed to bring money to buy cookies, cupcakes or cake at the bake sale. We will play some Halloween games followed by the pizza party at 12:00 noon and a Halloween movie and then down for nap and dismissal.
Please make sure you check your child's candy bag when they get home in case there is any candy you do not want them to have. Thank you all for your cooperation!!

Have a Happy and Safe Halloween!!
Ms. Rodriguez
