Did You Know That...
- We had a 3-way tie for the most students in a class to submit a Reflections entry. Congratulations to the following classes: Ms. Barkdull, Ms. Ottley, and Mrs. Garcia
- We had an awesome Red Ribbon Week, culminating with an assembly featuring magician Mike Hamilton. He talked to students about the importance of staying drug-free and making good decisions in life.
- Our student council had the opportunity to go to a leadership conference at BYU on Wednesday. They had a great time and learned a lot!

Halloween Parade
Our Whitesides Halloween Parade will be Tuesday, October 31st, at 9:30 a.m.
The parade will take place on the track on the north side of the school. Bring a chair and/or blanket. Students should come dressed in costume and will remove it after the parade. If it's a costume that doesn't distract from learning (i.e., wearing overalls for a farmer costume, etc.), students can leave it on the remainder of the day.
To ensure the parade is a positive experience for students and a tradition we continue, please carefully note the following restriction on costumes.
*Students may not dress up as an ethnic or cultural group. Culture is not a costume. In respect to the Native American view, students cannot dress up as Pocahontas, Sacagawea, Sitting Bull, etc. This is cultural appropriation and is inappropriate.
*Skin color cannot be altered in any way.
*No masks.
*Costumes cannot be gory or threatening.
*No costumes that depict illegal substances.
*No hand-held accessories (i.e., wands, weapons, etc.)
*No strapless costumes or mid-drifts. Underwear should not be visible.
*Costumes should be fun and exciting, not political or offensive.
If you are unsure about a particular costume, please feel free to contact Ms. Schulz or your child's teacher.
Parents should not come dressed in costume.
We will live stream our parade for those that aren't able to make it. In case of inclement weather, we will still live stream the parade so parents can watch at home.
