Dear
Parents,
On Wednesday, October 31, May
Watts School will celebrate a Fall Festival and Halloween Parade. Various activities integrating curriculum
will be occurring throughout the day in all Kindergarten through Grade 5
classrooms. The parade will proceed from
the north gym doors and finish up at the south gym doors, weather permitting. We will walk around the building on the sidewalk
areas. Please keep this area clear of
people, dogs, strollers, etc. The parade will occur at 2:00 p.m.
The parade will need to continuously move forward so please do not stop the
parade to take photos or talk to your child. In case of inclement weather (i.e. threat of
rain), the parade will be cancelled. We
will follow the same criteria for any outdoor recess.
The PTA will sponsor room
parties for the children. The parties
will run from:
Kindergarten - 5 2:30 p.m. to 3:15 p.m.
Children must be in
attendance throughout the day in order to participate in the parade and party.
Children will be permitted to
wear costumes and clothing to school that does not interfere with physical
education, lunch, and outdoor recess.
Accessories (props, masks, etc.) need to be carried to school in a bag
and will be permitted to be used and/or worn for the parade only. Since it will be the responsibility of your
child to dress himself/herself, please consider this when choosing his/her
costume.
If your child will require
make-up or colored hair spray for his/her costume, please apply the make-up or
spray at home prior to sending him/her to school. No make-up or spray should be brought to
school. Costumes should be appropriate
in taste for elementary school children with no adult or violent themes, and
not so big as to cause problems walking in halls or through doors. Children should be able to see adequately so
as not to have an accident. Anything
resembling a weapon (gun, sword, knife, sticks, etc.) should be left at
home.
The PTA will be providing the students with
cupcakes and a Capri Sun during the
party. The cupcakes are from * Whole
Foods Market in Naperville. The
ingredients are as follows for the cupcakes: vanilla cupcakes contain eggs,
milk, soy and wheat, sugar, enriched wheat flour, dry egg whites, palm oil,
leavening, dextrose, modified food starch, dry egg yolk, natural flavor, salt,
non-fat milk solids, sorbitan monostearate, soy lechithin, soybean oil,
cellulose gum, xanthan gum, water, and canola oil. The orange frosting consists of powdered
sugar, palm oil shortening, unsalted butter, vanilla extract, sea salt and
annatto (natural plant based food color).
If
your child is unable to have the treat provided because of allergies, please
send the school nurse a note informing us of this. You are asked to provide your child with a
treat that he/she can have if they have allergies to the cupcakes being
served.
Please
do not send in any other treats for the classrooms because of possible food
allergies. Treats brought to school will
be sent home.
Finally, alternative activities
will be planned for children whose families choose not to participate in this
event beginning at 2:00 p.m. Please
contact Mr. LeCrone through email in order that appropriate activities can be
arranged. His email is: brian_lecrone@ipsd.org.
With
the excitement of Halloween, please emphasize the need for safety to and from
school.

PTA would like to thank Whole Foods for partnering with the PTA. Whole Foods offered a tremendous price break
in order to provide our children with a healthier, more natural and delectable
party treat.
