Frankland’s annual Halloween Parade is tomorrow, Tuesday, October 31, starting at 1p.m. in the Frankland School yard.
Students will begin their parade inside the school, walking through the school so the classes can see each other before heading outside to walk around the field / path and finish back at the Kindergarten doors, Door 4 and Door 5. We ask “spook-tators” to watch from either side of the path and avoid standing in front of the entrances into the school.
We ask families to remember that certain costumes are viewed as offensive, inappropriate and/or discriminatory to many different cultures/peoples, and as a result can cause harm to members of our school community. Additionally, families are also reminded that it’s important to be aware of the potential negative and triggering impact violent images and/or scenarios can have on students and families with varying lived experiences and backgrounds.
With it looking a little spooky outside with this cold & gloomy weather, the Boo Bash will move indoors to ensure no little ghosts or goblins catch a fright! The Boo Bash will now be held inside the school, with the performances taking front & centre on the Frankland stage.
The event will still go on as planned, from 2 p.m. – 5 p.m. with the same live entertainment, free halloween arts & crafts, food vendors & Pumpkin Raffle. Only change is now it will be indoors & not outside.
We hope to still see all our Falcon families in their Halloween costumes because the Boo Bash won’t let a little weather ruin its fun, and promises to still be a spooktacular time.
And remember don’t forget…
• The Boo Bash is on from 2p.m. to 5 p.m.
• Included with your wristband: hot chocolate/apple cider, loot bags, a pumpkin for your family, art activities and entertainment by our outstanding line-up.
• Dress in a Halloween costume.
• Bring your own t-shirt or fabric tote bag for the linoleum art printing activity.
• Bring your own picnic blanket or park mat to enjoy the entertainment in the gym.
• Bring cash for food & Pumpkin Raffle tickets.
