Hindley is celebrating Halloween spirit day on Monday, October 31st for all students. Halloween is one of the most exciting days of the year for children, and we want to celebrate the joy on campus!
As students arrive at school that morning, PTO is planning to provide some decorations and
Halloween themed music. We may even have a visit from Howl, our very own Hindley husky.
Kindergarten and 1st grade families are invited to attend Halloween annual share! Plan is to hold this
event outdoors so that our Grade 2-5 students can attend also. If it rains on the 31st, we will have a
limited audience in the Common Room of Kindergarten families only. Although this will be
disappointing to 1st grade families, they can look forward to the 1st grade share which is right
around the corner in December!
Students in kindergarten and 1st grade should carry their costumes with them to school. Their
teachers will help them put their costumes on to prepare for the share.
Students in 2nd – 5th grades have some choices in how to participate in this fun day. With
parental permission, students may wear an element of their costumes such a shirt, a cape, or a
headpiece. “Weapons”, scary costumes, face make-up, excessively large or cumbersome outfits
and accessories are not permitted. Teachers will ask students to remove any part of a costume
that becomes overly distracting or disruptive to the learning process.
As an alternative to costumes, students can celebrate the day by wearing orange and black or
Darien/Hindley colors of blue and white.
Finally, we will try something new this Halloween. Classes are going to partner up to share some
reading by flashlight. Students may bring in a book to share as well as a flashlight to use for this
special event.
