Orange and Black Day at MJ – Monday, October 31st

As Halloween is quickly approaching, we are going to be holding an Orange and Black spirit day on Monday, October 31st.  Students are encouraged to wear black and orange clothes or a Halloween costume.  If you choose to have your child wear a costume, please remember that students are not to wear masks, or have any weapons (plastic swords, knives, guns, etc.) that are carried with them.  Please keep them at home.  Students are permitted to wear the costumes for the entire day, however, you may want to bring in a change of clothes for them to change at one of the nutrition breaks.

Also, many classes may be holding an afternoon class celebration.  If you are planning to send in any treats for the children, we would ask that you bring healthy, nutritious treats for them. All food should be nut free as we have many allergies.  Check out the link below for some Healthy ‘Spooktacular’ Halloween Snack Ideas that we gathered from Pinterest that are both healthy and fun!  There are many other creative snack ideas on Pinterest.
