HARVEST PARADE ~ OCT. 31!
Our Harvest Parade on October 31.Students may wear costumes to school if they wish. Please follow a few simple guidelines when selecting a costume for school.
o Avoid masks. If a costume requires a mask, it may only be worn during the parade.
o No weapons, blood or gore. We promote a safe and friendly environment at Willow Grove. Toy guns, knives, handcuffs, swords, nun chucks, etc. will be taken and returned at the end of the day. Any child with bloody make-up will have to remove it.
o Costumes that portray violent characters in movies/ TV are not appropriate at school.
o Display respect for other cultures. Stereotyping or ridiculing other races or cultures is unacceptable.
We are looking forward to a fun filled day!
It's going to be a grrrrreat Grizzly week! See everyone tomorrow!
