We hope you and your children enjoy a fun and festive Halloween night! Here are a few safety tips to keep the night both safe and exciting:
Stay Visible: Add reflective tape to costumes and carry a flashlight or glow sticks to ensure drivers can see you and your children.
Travel Together: Walk in groups or with an adult, and stay on sidewalks whenever possible. Cross streets at corners and use crosswalks.
Inspect Treats: Before enjoying any Halloween treats, take a quick look to make sure they’re safe and unopened.
And a quick reminder that tomorrow is $1 PJ Day, sponsored by the PTO! Students are welcome to come to school in their comfiest pajamas for a day of cozy learning.
Wishing everyone a night full of treats, spooky fun, and safe adventures!
Happy Halloween! 🎃👻
