K-5 Halloween at Lincoln School
We will be celebrating Halloween for our K-5 students on October 31st at Lincoln School. We ask that students bring their costumes to school. We will change into them after lunch and recess. As a reminder costumes should not depict blood, gore, violence, or weapons. Students will have class parties beginning at 1:00. The public is invited to our annual parade which will take place at 2:15 and students will parade down Bennett Avenue. Students may be signed out by a parent/guardian following the parade. If someone other than a parent or guardian will be signing your child out please communicate that in advance with your child's teacher. Any student not signed out will take their normal transportation home. Any questions please ask your child's teacher.
