DRAGON TALES . . . October 2017 HALLOWEEN COSTUMES Students may bring costumes to school on Tuesday, October 31st. They should not wear them to school in the morning. Students who bring a costume will have me to change during the aſternoon recess for a hall- way parade through each of the classrooms. It’s im- portant that students avoid wearing costumes that may be inappropriate for a school environment. That includes anything that is gruesome, gory, or involves pretend or toy weapons and other implements. Please keep in mind that our busses will not allow cumber- some items that may potenally block aisles or seats. Because of these guidelines, it may not work for some students to use their actual Halloween costume at school. Thank you for helping us maintain a fun and wholesome fall event for our students.
