Dear Alpine Families,
Get ready for some ghostly fun at Alpine Elementary this Halloween! We’re thrilled to announce that our annual Halloween promenade and classroom parties are just around the corner on Tuesday, October 31st.
Promenade Details:
The promenade will take place outside, circling the school building, and it kicks off at 2:50 PM, right after the classroom parties. Families, you’re invited to join the festivities as well! It’s going to be a howling good time, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you.
Classroom Parties:
Our dedicated classroom teachers will be in touch with you to provide all the details about the classroom parties. We kindly request that the parties focus on enjoyable activities and skip the treats. With all the Halloween candy in store, your little goblins will have their sweet tooth satisfied.
Costume Guidelines:
To ensure a safe and enjoyable Halloween celebration, please keep these costume guidelines in mind:
Change at School: Students should bring their costumes to school and change into them immediately before the party and promenade.
No Weapons, Fake Blood, or Masks: For safety reasons, we kindly ask that costumes do not include weapons, fake blood, or masks.
Minimal Face Paint/Makeup: While we encourage fun and creative face paint or makeup, please refrain from full-face paint to ensure visibility and comfort.
We are eagerly anticipating a spooktacular time this Halloween, and we hope to see you there. Let’s make it a memorable day filled with laughter, creativity, and lots of Halloween spirit! 🎃👻🕷️
Library Oasis: At Alpine Elementary, we also understand that not all our students celebrate Halloween, and we want everyone to feel included and have a great time. Therefore, we’re excited to announce a special alternative activity in the library for those who prefer not to participate in Halloween festivities. Our library will transform into a haven of creativity and learning, providing a peaceful and enjoyable experience for students who choose not to partake in Halloween. We’ll have a selection of engaging books, puzzles, and STEM activities to keep our young learners entertained and inspired throughout the afternoon.
Gratefully,
Amber Marsolek, Principal
Jennifer Dalby, Dean of Students
