🎃 Halloween Costume Guidelines for Tomorrow! 🎃

Students may wear costumes tomorrow!
To keep things festive and appropriate, please remember:

• No masks or face paint are allowed.

•  Costumes must be school-appropriate and follow the dress code policy.

•  If you’re unsure about your costume, be Responsible and ask ahead of time — not the morning of!

Let’s keep it fun and follow the rules so everyone can enjoy a spooktacular day! 👀

Mrs. Smith needs to see the following students in her classroom immediately after announcements:  Erin Mellis, Carter Holtzbauer, Haileigh Helminiak, and Zander Springer.

There’s still time to make a difference! Keep bringing in new socks of all sizes — every pair helps our community and your team’s total. Tomorrow is the last day!

 Let’s finish Socktober strong and show that Wildcat pride! 

Reminder to all 8th-graders participating in our DC trip candle fundraiser:  All orders and money are due on or before November 5th...that is next Wednesday.  When you are finished selling, turn your orders and money in to Mrs. Smith.

🎉 Happy Birthday! 🎂
