Happy Friday!  

On Halloween morning, we will have a BOO BREAKFAST! Students my wear their costumes to school over their clothes for our Halloween Breakfast. They will take off costumes before recess. Please make sure they are school appropriate and do not have blood, weapons, or masks. We will do crafts and other fun Halloween activities throughout the day. I added some supplies needed to our Classroom Wish List for Halloween crafts. Thank you in advance for your donations!
