Halloween Celebrations
PTO will provide a classroom snack (Hy-Vee Sugar Cookie) for Halloween Parties. If your child can’t have the cookie provided by PTO, please email jcoltvet@epsne.org to help plan for their snack needs.
Classroom parties will begin at 2:15 and an outdoor parade will begin at 2:30. Please send costumes to school with your child on the 29th. They will put costumes on later in the day for the parade and party. It is helpful if students can put costumes on over clothing to avoid using bathrooms to change.
