Halloween Activities 2020 |
Wyoming Valley Children's Association is excited to host our annual Halloween parade, but due to COVID-19 it will look a little different this year. Our staff planned a new schedule for this event, to ensure the safety of all children and families. Parade times will be staggered, masks must be worn by all parents, guests, staff, and children who are able. The parade times are listed in the guideline below and parents will not be allowed to enter the building for classroom parties.
WVCA is trying our best to still make this Halloween a memorable experience for all of our students and families. Please reach out to our office at 570-714-1246 with any questions or concerns.

The magic and miracles that happen each day at WVCA are due to our dedicated teachers, therapists, and administrative staff. Without their hard work, passion, and creativity WVCA would not be able to achieve our mission of student success.
Thank you to our 2020-2021 staff for rising to the challenge of our "new reality" and adapting our school year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. If you want to thank a WVCA staff member who "went above and beyond" you can post a #WVCAstaff shoutout on social media or email your response to [email protected] and we will share it with our staff.
