Halloween Parties
Children will be allowed to wear their costumes all day on
Thursday, Oct. 31. Make sure they are comfortable & easy to use the restrooms independently and play on the playground. If kids need to put costumes on, they must be able to do it alone without adult assistance. No blood or gore. Simple makeup is allowed and must be put on at home. NO makeup will be applied at school. Masks/hats and other pieces to their costumes will be allowed ONLY during the party time. As always, weapon props are not allowed. Any treats or prizes sent in will be distributed and sent home with students. Please be aware of food allergies.
Kids Heart Challenge
Dear Parent/Guardian,
We kicked off our Kids Heart Challenge during P.E. class. We are doing this event WAY early this year! Our Kids Heart Challenge week will be October 7-October 25. Students will participate in heart healthy activities during their scheduled P.E. time. This event not only helps to raise money for healthy heart awareness, but helps raise money for new P.E. equipment. Any students who get over $100 before October 18th will get put into a drawing for a special prize. The class that gets the most donations will earn a movie class in the gym!
Please use the QR code for all the information for our school!
We are really pushing to do as much of the fundraising online this year! If students set up an account and get donations online, they get a heart wristband just for that!
If you do everything online, you do not need to turn ANYTHING in.
All checks should be made payable to the American Heart Association. The fundraiser ends on Friday, November 1.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Genna Shinkan
Bibich Elementary Physical Education Teacher
