Dear Cardinal Elementary Families,
Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our school community. As we prepare for our Halloween parties on Thursday, October 31st, I want to share some guidelines regarding costumes to ensure a fun and safe experience for all our students.
Appropriate Costumes:
* Fun and Friendly: Costumes that are lighthearted and fun, such as superheroes, animals, and favorite book characters.
* Comfortable Attire: Outfits that allow for easy movement, playing, and participating in activities.
* Non-Hazardous Accessories: Costumes that do not include sharp objects, weapons, or any items that could cause injury.
Inappropriate Costumes:
* Violent Themes: Any costumes that depict violence or include weapons.
* Scary or Disturbing Imagery: Outfits that may frighten young children, including gory or horror-themed costumes (no blood or scars as props).
We appreciate your cooperation in helping to create a joyful and safe environment for our Halloween celebrations. If you have any questions or need further clarification, feel free to reach out.
Look for more information to come from classroom teachers regarding how costumes should come to school.
Thank you again for your partnership!
Warm Regards,
Sara Bennis
Cardinal Elementary Principal
