Dear Prairie Lane Families,

We’re excited for our Halloween festivities this year!

Halloween Parties:
Each classroom will have a Halloween party on October 31st, organized by the Prairie Lane Community Club room parent and the homeroom teacher. Please watch for details from your room parent regarding volunteer opportunities, donations, and needed supplies. This year, the room parent and 4-5 volunteers will assist in making the party a fun event for the kids. Thank you for your support!

Halloween Parade:
All Prairie Lane families are invited to join us for the Halloween Parade, which will take place on the school field.

• Parade Time: 3:05 PM

• Location: Students will proceed around the track. Families, please gather along the field to watch the fun.

Costume Guidelines:

• Students may bring a costume for the parade.

• Costumes must be worn over their regular clothes.

• For safety, students will not change clothes at school.

• Costumes should be school-appropriate: no offensive, scary, or inappropriate themes.

• No weapons (real or fake) are allowed as part of the costume.

• Please, no makeup.

• Students should bring their costumes in a clearly labeled bag. Costumes should not be worn to school.

Arrival Time for Families:
If you plan to join us for the parade, please arrive between 2:45 and 3:00 PM and gather along the field.

After the parade, students will return to their classrooms and prepare for dismissal at 3:30 PM as usual. Teachers will follow regular daily dismissal routines.

Thank you for helping us ensure a safe, respectful, and responsible Halloween celebration!

Come join us from 4-9 pm on October 21st!

If you choose to have lunch with your child, please call the office before 9:00 am so we can let the kitchen know, and to ensure that there will be enough space in our Learning Commons area for families.

We hope you join us for our next meeting on October 22nd at 6:30pm! Suggestions or comments can be directed to president.plcc@gmail.com

We are excited to announce the launch of our WE-SIDE Community Events Calendar. This calendar includes dates and times for local events and community offerings.

While we are not a partner, sponsor, or organizer of the listed events, we’d like to share them with you as part of our WE-SIDE initiative, which highlights opportunities available in the greater Omaha community.

Started in the summer of 2020, WE-SIDE stands for Welcoming Equity Support Inclusion Dignity Everyone. This initiative was created to foster a district community where everyone feels valued, connected, and respected. The initiative seeks to build a supportive environment that honors the dignity of every individual, creating a sense of belonging and unity within the Westside community.

The events are listed on the right-hand side of the WCS website homepage. Click on each event for specific logistical information. However, for details or inquiries regarding any of these events, please contact the official event organizers directly.

We are excited to share these opportunities with you and hope you find something new to explore with friends or family members.
