Hallowe'en Party

This Thursday, is Clairlea Spirit Day! The students and I have decided that it would be grand to have a party since it's also Hallowe'en. Everyone is invited to wear a Hallowe'en costume to school for the day. I will bring in some treats from everyone, but would be delighted if families wanted to send in some additional food items.

Please do not send in foods containing the following ingredients:

• nuts of any kind

• eggs

• soy

If you do not celebrate Hallowe'en, your child may wear purple instead to celebrate school spirit. Celebrations and traditions of Canada are an important part of the Grade 2 social studies curriculum. I'm looking forward to seeing some fun costumes and to teaching the students a little about the history of Hallowe'en!
