Let’s have some Greenwood fun to wrap up the month of October! On Thursday, October 31st, students can celebrate a fun day together here at Greenwood by dressing up in some wacky way, which could involve wearing their costume, or simply just sporting some seasonal fall gear, crazy hair, mismatched clothes, or a fun hat.
Dress-up guidelines for the day:
● Must be school-appropriate (both for costume theme and ability to do schoolwork in it)
● No props or accessories
● No full-face masks
And we will once again bring our day to a close with the K-2 costume parade! The parade will begin at 2:35pm - students will follow a route out the back door, around one big loop of the blacktop, walk around the Kindergarten side of the building, and go back in the front door to pick up backpacks, etc. before being dismissed. Families are welcome to come and spectate - please arrange yourself outside the cones. Our 3rd and 4th graders will join everyone outside to help cheer on our younger students. Keep your fingers crossed for good weather - we will not hold the parade if it is raining.
