Halloween

Are you ready?! (I'm 0 for 5 on costume stores in search of my costume - no luck yet!) Please don't include any weapons (swords, guns, light sabers, etc) as part of your costume at school.

We will celebrate Halloween on Friday, October 30th. The whole school will be on a different schedule that day:
The morning is from 8-12.
Lunch is from 12-12:55.
The afternoon is from 12:55-2:55.

We start lining up for the all school parade at 1:10. Because we have P.E. and music the last hour of the day, our party will be in the morning. We'll start around 10:30 - thanks to Macy's mom and all the room parents for organizing! Students may wear their costumes for the party and the parade, but NOT for lunch, which means they will have to get in and out of them. Parents have volunteered to help with that - thanks!

Many Longfellow families do not celebrate Halloween. If your family does not celebrate, please let me know if I can make alternative arrangements for your child.

The Pumpkin Festival is Thursday, 10/29, and Friday, 10/30. Look for details in the Thursday packet.
