Students will change into their costumes at school:

  • Family members can meet students on the Upper Yard in their usual Morning Circle locations.
  • Check with your student's teacher to see if they need in-class volunteers.
DO NOT bring:

  • Weapon-like items (scythes, sickles, swords, wands, etc.)
Adults:

  • Please remain on the outside of the Morning Circle.
