YOUNG 5s FALL FUN FEST!
Our Young 5s Class attended Deneweth’s Fall Fun Fest for our first field trip! While outside, we explored and found our way through the exciting corn maze, climbed and played on a giant straw mound, and went on a spooky train ride! We also participated in pumpkin decorating, played and went through a straw maze, played carnival games, and ran through a fun inflatable haunted house! We finished our fun-filled morning with cider and donuts.

HALLOWEEN PARADE OCTOBER 31ST @ 10:45AM
Dear Emerson Parents,
Halloween is quickly approaching! Children are shopping for costumes, planning their candy routes, and anticipating exciting activities. At Emerson we recognize this excitement in our students and we want to ensure Halloween is a fun-filled, positive experience for all of our students.
On Thursday, October 31st, students will be celebrating Halloween. This is an EARLY RELEASE DAY and students are dismissed at 1:30 P.M. Our school-wide parade will begin at 10:45 A.M. and we will parade through the neighborhood. Parents are welcome to stand around the parade route. We will be walking down Admiral (west) and making the loop around to come back to the school.
All students must come to school in regular school clothes on October 31st. Students can wear light Halloween makeup to school that day (eyeshadow, painted freckles, rosy cheeks, etc.). All makeup and hair products must stay home from school that day. Students will be able to change into their costumes prior to the parade.
Make sure to adhere to the following rules:
1. Masks are not to be worn in school or during the parade.
2. HEAVY makeup is not to be worn (light makeup only-eyeshadow, painted freckles, rosy cheeks, etc.)
3. Glitter and fake blood are not to be worn or brought to school.
4. Fake or real weapons are not to be brought to school, i.e., swords, guns, knives, daggers, and the like.
5. Inappropriate costumes are not to be worn to school. Please choose costumes that are positive and/or represent a good role model for our students.
6. No roller blades, roller blade shoes, skateboards or scooters.
7. No bare midriffs.
8. Please use common sense and good judgement when sending your child to school on October 31st.
Classroom teachers will be organizing their classroom or grade level activities. Please make sure to follow all guidelines and parameters as set by the classroom teacher. Some of our classrooms are NUT-FREE and the teachers will inform you of all pertinent information. If a classroom party has not begun when you arrive, please wait patiently. This is needed to allow for a smooth class transition with minimal disruptions.
Remember: a couple of pieces of candy in your child’s lunch are plenty during the week. Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Mr. Argiri
School-wide parade @ 10:45 A.M.
