Hallowe’en Dance – October 27

We look forward to seeing everyone dressed in their costumes tonight and/or Hallowe’en colours (October 27). Doors will open at 6pm and the event will end at 8pm. Reminder that students should be supervised by their parent/guardian at all times during the event, and that concessions are cash only.

Hallowe’en Activities - October 31

Teachers will be communicating the various activities occurring within their classrooms on this day (I know many have already). As a whole school, students will be engaging in the following activities:

a.     Pumpkinella: on October 31^st families are invited to take to school a decorated or carved pumpkin to put on display in the Library Learning Commons.

o   Participating students should carry their pumpkin to and from school in a tear-proof bag.

o   If you would like to light up your pumpkin, please use a battery-operated tea light (no candles)

o   Please label your pumpkin with a permanent marker

o   All pumpkins not picked up by 4:15pm on October 31^st will be composted

b.     Costumes: Students have the option to wear school appropriate costumes. Costumes that have fully covering masks, toy weapons, or that may scare students in our school community will be asked to be removed

o   Please note that costumes are optional. If your child(ren) will not be wearing a costume, they are welcome wear orange and/or black clothing, or dress as per a typical school day.

o   Students are invited to wear their costumes for the day.

Winter Outdoor Clothing donations

-        We are looking for donations of new and/or lightly used winter clothing. The hope is to gather a selection of items that we can offer back to Marion Carson families or store at the school for future needs. Once items have been gathered, we will offer them out to our school community.

-         We are specifically looking for the following:

o   Winter Jackets

o   Snow Pants

o   Mittens / Gloves

o   Toques

-        If you are able to donate any lightly used or new items, please drop them off in the box near the front office before Monday, November 7, 2023.

 

 

Sincerely,

Mr. Dustin Turner

Principal, Marion Carson School
