Red Ribbon Week & Halloween

A few weeks back, I posted students were encouraged to wear sports or team jerseys instead of costumes on October 30th for the Team Up Against Drugs Parade. I originally posted students weren't to bring costumes to school on that day. Since that time our directions have changed. The information listed below will clarify some questions that have risen about Red Ribbon Week & Halloween.................
For Friday of Drug Free Week & the K - 4 parade.......... if students wear sports team apparel they may wear it all day. If they choose to wear traditional Halloween attire (without weapons, of course) on Friday of Drug Free week, they will be permitted to change into their costume later in the afternoon before the parade. If your child plans to change into a Halloween costume, please help them practice dressing themselves as I won't be able to help each child get dressed. The parade will be the culminating activity of the "Team Up Against Drugs" theme.
Also, I would like to carve a couple pumpkins in class & then roast the seeds to eat on Friday. Does anyone have a pumpkin(s) to donate? If we get more than 1 pumpkin, I’ll be looking for volunteer(s) to come help us carve them. If you are able to donate a pumpkin &/or come in to help us carve a pumpkin, please write a note to let me know what you are able to do. I plan to carve pumpkins on Tuesday, October 27th.
If you have questions, please send a note in your child’s folder or email.
