We will be recognizing Halloween at Mary Hopkins through our annual parade. We ask that if you are sending your child with a costume, that it is a simplified version that they can manage on their own. We ask that in choosing a costume for school, students consider that we have younger children in the building, as well as those who are sensitive to some of the imagery used during Halloween. We also ask that props that are weapons are not brought to school.
Parents are welcome to view the parade by joining us on the playground (weather permitting) or in the gym. Please see the details below for our various classrooms.
Kindergarten Students
Our Kindergarten students will be participating in a Halloween Parade set to begin at about 9:30 a.m. Students should come to school dress for the parade (i.e. wearing costume/Black and Orange). All accessories and masks should stay at home as they may get lost or broken. Please send a change of clothing and a large plastic bag so that your child can put their costume away after the parade. Our Kindergarten teachers have asked that food/treats not be sent to school.
Grade 1 – 5 Students
Our Grade 1 – 5 students will also participate in a parade. Students will change into their costumes after 2nd nutrition break and the parade will begin at approximately 2:10 p.m. Please refer to individual teacher communications with regard to class-specific celebrations.
