Lower School Halloween Celebration

When

10/31/2016, 12:45 PM – 2:00 PM

Grades 1-8 will celebrate Halloween on Monday, October 31 during the afternoon.  The children can bring their costumes to school and change after lunch.  Please be aware that we are trying to provide a time for creative and tasteful costuming for the children which will support a more meaningful festival time.  It will be an internal student and teacher celebration with interaction between the classes during the afternoon. Please choose a costume from this year's curriculum (or from any year's curriculum that your child has already completed).   See costume guidelines below. 

We are asking each family to bring a carved pumpkin with a tea light candle inside on Monday morning.  Place the pumpkin outside of the Eurythmy room.  The pumpkins will be used to light up the room for their afternoon story time.  If you would like your pumpkin at the end of the day, please make sure it has your name on it and you may pick it up after school at 3:15 p.m.  Any remaining pumpkins will be taken to the compost.
