Week at a Glance Monday, October 29
Tuesday, October 30 Wednesday, October 31 Friday, November 2 ____________________________________________________________________ Halloween Costume Day Students are invited to wear their Halloween costumes to school on Wednesday, October 31st. Students are encouraged to bring a 2$ donation for our United Way Fundraiser. Thank you kindly in advance for your support. A few requests in regards to Halloween costumes… Please no masks, props, such as wands, swords, lightsabers, etc., as these can interfere with safe play, and can be distracting while in class. Also, please understand that your child will be involved in a regular school day, so the costume needs to be able to withstand all regular school activities, including going to the washroom by him/herself. We thank you for your cooperation. We certainly don’t want any disappointed children if the costume is ruined before they head out to trick-or-treat! ____________________________________________________________________ ECO Schools Message Dear St. Luke families, Our school is enrolled in a large battery recycling challenge beginning today until earth day 2019 in April.
