Halloween Parade at 8:15am on the lower playground! Students may come to school in their costumes. For those new to the school, you should know that Roosevelt LOVES Halloween and we go all out! The costume parade begins on the lower playground at 8:15am so that the students can show off their costumes. Parents are welcome to join in the fun! Prizes are given in many different categories – best homemade, best makeup, best theme, etc. Costume rules: no toy weapons and no gore. Please remember that the students need to change back into their uniforms after the parade, so pack a uniform if they are not able to wear it under their costume.
Many classes/grades will be having Halloween or Harvest themed parties at some point during the day. Please check with your child’s teacher to see if any food items or supplies are needed.
3rd Grade, Room 5 will leave at 9:00am for their field trip to Woodside Store.
