Dear Families,
October is flying by! We have a lot of exciting activities happening and on the horizon at Fell!
-The Fire Department visited the school today for a presentation about the importance of Fire Safety.
–Art Club is in full swing after school on Wednesdays; students are enjoying the opportunity to express their creativity and have fun after school!
– Fell hosted a Basketball Clinic last Friday; many students attended and enjoyed learning some fundamentals about Basketball. It was a great opportunity, and all had a blast!
–Warrior Night will take place tomorrow, 10/22 at 6 PM. Grades 3, 6, and 7 will be presenting. This is mandatory for all students in these grade levels!
– The last day of the 1st Quarter is 10/31. Report cards will be distributed on 10/31.
Finally, our annual school-wide Halloween Parade will take place in the parking lot on Friday, October 31st! Here are a few important reminders about the parade and guidelines for costumes:
–Students in all grades are welcome to come to school dressed in school-appropriate costumes; students are not under any obligation to wear a costume or participate in the parade if they are uncomfortable or if it is against the wishes of their family.
– Keep in mind that we have young students (5 and 6-year-olds) experiencing their first Halloween in school, so gore and blood MUST be avoided. Any student whose costume is deemed inappropriate will be asked to change out of it.
– No hair dyes or overly large costumes that might invade another student’s space.
– No accessories like swords or weapons are allowed. No toy weapons of any kind are permitted.
– Please ensure that students wear appropriate shoes for safety.
If you’re planning to attend, please stand along the sidewalk so you can see the entire parade. As safety is a primary concern, we ask that guests NOT wear face coverings/masks.
Parade Timing and Parking Information:– The parade will begin at 9:00 a.m.– The parade route will start at the front door of the school, where students will go left and make three loops around the parking lot.– All visitors MUST park behind the orange cones. Parking is limited, so please plan ahead and consider carpooling!
– Please note that the entrance and exit to our driveway must remain clear for emergency vehicles if necessary.-School dismissal is 11 AM on 10/31. Students will return to the building after the parade to eat lunch before dismissal.
We’re looking forward to a fun and safe celebration!
Go Warriors! Mr. Casey
