Join Us for the Kuehnle Storybook Character Parade!
We invite you to celebrate with us on Thursday, October 31 at 9:00 a.m. as Kuehnle students showcase their favorite book characters in a delightful parade! Students will proudly dress as characters from their beloved books and parade around the school.
RSVP:
To attend as a spectator, please RSVP by NOON on Monday, October 28. An RSVP table will be set up outside to distribute badges.
Weather Considerations:
We will monitor the weather forecast to decide if the parade can take place outside on the jogging path, with spectators seated on the grass. Please bring your own chair. If we need to move the event indoors, we will notify you in advance. Updates regarding the parade location will be sent as the date approaches.
Visitor Information:
If you have not RSVP'd or had your driver's license scanned at Kuehnle, you will need to visit the front office to obtain a visitor's badge. Arrive early, as there may be a wait, and we want to ensure you don’t miss the parade!
Costume Guidelines:
Students are encouraged to wear inexpensive, homemade costumes. Each student must carry a copy of their chosen book or a poster/paper with the book's title on it. Please remember that we still need to follow the student dress code set by the district. Costume "accessories" such as swords, wands, etc...should stay at home. Also, only costumes that are book characters are allowed. No scary costumes or Halloween costumes please.
We look forward to seeing you there!
