Mountain Lion Memo
Family Newsletter - October 25th
Hello Mackeben Families,
Halloween Reminders:
Classrooms will be hosting Halloween parties on Thursday, October 31st. Your child's classroom teacher will have specific information about the day.
Costume Guidelines:
Costumes should be worn over clothes so that students can pull them on/off independently.
Costumes should be appropriate, should not be violent in nature and should not include weapons, (fake or plastic), or masks that cover the entire face.
Hair dye, make-up, and minimal face paint must be applied at home (i.e. whiskers and a nose).
We are looking forward to a fun filled day. If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to reach out to Mrs. Marzullo - mmarzullo@district158.org
