Thanksgiving Lunch Change
Due to an overwhelming response from Alpine families and a slight food shortage through our nutrition services vendors, we will no longer be able to serve cafeteria lunch to parents on November 9. However, we are excited to offer an alternative for families who have already RSVPd for the event. We will now be catering the parent portion of the luncheon through Perkins Restaurant.
Our fabulous PTO will be serving the parent portion of the lunch and providing additional sides and dessert. The meal will consist of roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, and pumpkin pie.
If you previously confirmed your attendance for this event and would prefer not take part in this lunch after our change in plans, please contact the office, and we will refund your $5. We are not currently accepting any additional RSVPs for this event as we’ve already placed the catering order.
Alpine will be having its first Veteran’s Day Celebration on Friday, November 10th! There will be more details to come about time and the schedule of events, and in the meantime, we need your help!
The school will be creating a “Wall of Honor” for Veterans throughout the next month. There is a template being sent home in Thursday Folder that you and your student can fill out and return at any time to the office or to me. Please feel free to fill out more than one. Click here for a copy.
If you would like to include a family member or loved one on our “Wall of Honor” you can also digitally send the following information and a picture to:
Halloween Promenade
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.
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.
