Oct 29th: HALLOWEEN PARTY/SHORT DAY

Happy Halloween! We are excited for our annual Halloween Parade that will take place on Friday, October 29^th. Because the parade will start at 9:00am, we ask that students come to school already dressed in their costumes. For those who would like to watch the parade, please plan on bringing camping chairs or blankets, which you can set them up along the outside of either building (see attached map—the yellow dots indicate where families can sit). Please note that afternoon kindergarten families will receive information from their child’s teacher regarding their parade. Also, though Q2 students are welcome to dress up, their participation in the parade will be limited to watching the elementary students. 

Costume guidelines:

Costumes should be modest and without blood or gore. Students are welcome to paint their faces and wear Halloween masks; however, those masks will only be worn when directed to do so by the classroom teacher (e.g. during the parade, when a class picture is taken, etc). Weapons and anything that depicts violence are not allowed on school property (knives, guns, swords, spears, etc.). If you have questions about costume accessories, please contact us. Just to reiterate, no blood, either depicted on the costume or in makeup, is allowed.

Quest Administration

We love learning about SPACE!!

The first week we learned that our Solar System is one small part of the Milky Way Galaxy. The Milky Way contains BILLIONS of STARS …. but I am sure than none of those stars SHINE AS BRIGHTLY AS THESE FIRST GRADE STARS!!

Do you know how many planets are in our Solar System? Go ahead and ask your First Grader, they will tell you!! (THEY ARE THE BEST!!)
