THE KNIGHTLY NEWS

Dear Families,

Next week is Red Ribbon Week and we have lots of fun planned. Students are invited to participate in our dress up days throughout the week. They'll also have the opportunity to learn about ways to live a healthy drug-free life. Please refer to the flyer below for information.

Have a good weekend!

Dr. Tara Cooper

Thank you for your generosity for our SOCKTOBER sock drive. We collected 793 pairs of socks. The socks will be taken to the Open Door Mission. Way to go Knights!!

Dear Families,

It's time to order your child's artwork. The Square 1 Art package was given to you at Parent Teacher Conferences. Now is the time to order keepsakes and gifts featuring your child's art online, if you like! Simply search for your child's art using Art Search, and enter state, school name, and your student's name. Your student's art and code will appear, and you may order!

Order by: 11/17/2023

Thank you for supporting our school!

Halloween Parade and Costume Information

We will have a Halloween Parade at school Tuesday, October 31, from 3:05- 3:15 p.m. Parents are welcome to come watch the parade. Classroom parties will be handled by teachers and staff. The parade will take place outside. Students will exit the building on the west side of the building and proceed down 152nd to Drexel and then east on Drexel to the front of the building and reenter the front doors.

Below are our guidelines for costumes.

1. Costumes should come to school in a bag or sack with your child's name written on the outside. Children should not wear costumes to school in the morning.

2. Costumes should be age appropriate, no weapons, no fake blood. Questions about costumes may be directed to Dr. Cooper before the parade. On the day of the parade, questionable costumes will be sent to the office and phone calls made home.

3. No face makeup will be used for the school parade. It is uncomfortable and disruptive to wear all day. Students will not be allowed to put on face paint or hairspray at school.

4. We do not have enough restroom space for all students to change into their costumes in the privacy of a restroom. Students should be able to put their costume on in their classrooms.

5. Children do not have to wear costumes. Students without costumes can still

walk in the parade.

6. Parents wanting to come observe the parade are invited to do so. Please plan to arrive between 3:05-3:15 to observe the parade outside. There is no need to check in at the office.

Students will return to the classroom following the parade to gather belonging. Dismissal will follow as usual at 3:30. Parents are asked to wait outside until students are dismissed.

You won’t want to miss the exclusive holiday event of the year, while also supporting YOUR school! Jingle is an evening filled with holiday experiences, cocktails, delicious food bites, and an amazing silent auction of 36 unique trees decorated by our schools.

The Millard Public Schools Foundation supports the district by providing funds to all 35 schools to support strategic initiatives, connects Millard graduating seniors with over $150,000 in scholarship funding and helps our own Millard families in need.
