Halloween Parties in each classroom
Halloween Parade for 4-6 year olds
Thursday, October 31, each class will have a Halloween party in their classroom. Please hand your party contribution to your teacher at drop-off time Thursday morning. PLEASE DO NOT allow your child to wear a costume to school in the morning.
All children, EXCEPT THOSE THAT NAP, should bring their costume in a plastic bag in the morning. The nappers sleep during our parade. Older children will get dressed in costumes, parade, then return to regular clothing between 1:15 and 2:45. Please no costume “accessories” such as: swords, sticks, wands, or other handheld items.
If you’d like to join us at 1:40pm on Thursday afternoon, as we view the Bethesda Elementary School Halloween parade (which occurs behind BE on the circle of Moorland Ave), please meet in the ‘big room’ here at BMS. If there is rain, please do not come to BMS. In this case we will parade through the school.
