Friday, October 30, we will be celebrating Halloween at Link by having our Annual Costume Parade and Halloween Room Parties. In order to ensure the safety of all our students, we will be using the following guidelines for our school celebration.
Costumes
In choosing an appropriate costume for your child, please adhere to the following guidelines:
No costumes depicting violence (no fake blood, please).
No weapons or “look-alikes” of any kind (toy guns, plastic swords, etc.).
Keep make-up to a minimum (there is only a short time given to students to change into costumes, so save the best for trick-or-treating).
Be certain that your child can see through his/her mask.
Students will be responsible for putting on their own costumes after lunch.
Parade
Our Halloween parade will begin at approximately 1:15 PM. We will take a new route this year. We will begin on the blacktop by the basketball hoops, then make our way on the sidewalk around the parking lot. We will loop around the entire school building, and finish back at the main entrance. Feel free to enjoy the parade anywhere along the route. All parade spectators are asked to remain outside for the duration of the parade.
Parties
Halloween room parties will begin immediately following the parade and end by 2:30PM. If you are volunteering in a classroom, please sign in on the sheet in the front hallway beginning at 1:00PM. Only the volunteers on the list in the main office will be allowed to help at the party. Head room representatives have already coordinated with parent volunteers.
Due to various allergies present in our classrooms, we will once again require that you refrain from sending any edible treats to school for your child to pass out to his/her classmates. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and we hope all our students have a fun and safe Halloween this year!
