Our parade will begin at 9:15 am (ending with a special number by 4th grade) so students will need to come dressed in costumes ready to go. Costume guidelines include: no weapons or gory items, no messy face paint, and please follow dress guidelines. Hats, wigs, and colored hair will be fine for costume purposes. Students have been instructed to keep costume G-Rated. We are looking forward to a fun Halloween event.
