HALLOWEEN ACTIVITIES!!
The JPII annual parade of costumes will be Tuesday, October 31, starting at 1:00 p.m. in the gym. This is a fun and traditional JPII event. We welcome parents, grandparents and friends!
· It is a non-uniform day for grades 1-8.
· Kindergarten students wear their costumes all day.
· Grades 1-6 will change into their costumes for the parade.
· Students need to be able to complete this change on their own.
· Grade 1-6 will be judged on Funniest, Most Effort and Best Group.
· Kindergarten students will join the parade, but will not be judged.
· Guests enter the gym for the parade and will be seated on the bleachers. Guests are not to go throughout the building to the classrooms, restrooms, etc. to help students with their costumes.
· Room Parents will not have access to the classrooms prior to the costume parade.
· For ease, students may wear any “regular clothes” that are part of their costume to school. For example, if a student is going to dress as a firefighter, they can wear black pants and a black shirt to school, and put on the firefighters gear for the parade.
· 7th Grade’s Edible Haunted Houses and 8th Grade’s Literary Pumpkins will be on display in the gym, and the top three of each will be announced during the costume parade.
· NEW THIS YEAR: All guests for the Parade need to pre-register for the event. Please fill out the google form for each guest attending. You can enter information for up to 4 people on a form. If you do not have 4 guests, simply enter 'NA and/or 00s' and submit. All pre-registered guests will receive a text message and an email with their Halloween Parade School Pass ID (This pass is event specific. It is a different pass than the one used to sign in/out your student; or to sign in as a visitor at any other event, such as the Living Rosary). The event pass is orange in color and can be saved to your phone wallet by clicking “add” in the top right corner of the pass. You WILL NOT receive an event pass immediately following pre-registration, but should receive it at least 24 hours prior to the event. Pre-Registration will close at noon on Friday 10/27/23.
· Please enter Door A3 with your School Pass ID from 12:35-1:00.
· Students and those signed up as Room Parents will go to the classrooms after the parade. Just a reminder that all room parents must have completed Safe Parish.
· We ask that guests exit after the parade so the party for the middle school students can begin in the gym.
· Please monitor costumes very carefully for good taste and appropriateness. No revealing or frightening costumes are allowed. No weapons or weapon replicas allowed.
We hope that you are able to join us for this fun-filled event!
