On Friday, October 30 at 10:00 AM, we are celebrating the grand finale of our Read-A-Thon with our annual Character Parade! 🎉 We can’t wait to see our students bring their favorite book characters to life.
Parents, you are invited to cheer them on outside around the bus lot! To help us keep this event safe, fun, and smooth for everyone, please review our parade guidelines below:
👉 For Our Spectators:
• 🐾 No pets: Please leave all dogs and pets at home.
*🪑 Seating: Feel free to bring your own lawn chairs!
*📍 Where to watch: Please stand or sit on the sidewalk or the area along the staff parking lot to surround the bus lot.
*🌦️ Weather update: If it rains, students will parade inside and walk briefly under the bus lot overhang so they can still be viewed.
*📸 Photo op: Weather permitting, classes will line up in the bus lot at the end so you can snap some pictures before they head back inside!
🎭 Costume Guidelines & Reminders:
• 🚌 Students may arrive at school already dressed in their costumes.
• 🦖 Inflatable costumes must be reasonably sized; students will change into them just for the parade and change back out immediately after.
• 😷 Masks may only be worn during the parade and must stay in backpacks otherwise. We highly suggest leaving easily lost items (like gloves or loose masks) at home!
• 🛑 Strictly prohibited: No blood, gore, weapons (or look-alikes), or inappropriate imagery/text.
• 👕 Costumes must fully cover the body and adhere to the school dress code.
• 🎒 Pack a backup: Please send a change of clothes just in case your child needs to change, or if you aren’t sure if the costume meets the guidelines. (Note: Teachers and administration reserve the right to ask a student to change if a costume is deemed inappropriate).
We can’t wait to see which literary worlds our students choose to explore! See you on Friday! 📖🎈
