Second attended a Field Trip today to Langwater Farm.

Our upcoming Halloween Parade is set to kick off at 1:45 pm on October 31, 2023 taking place outdoors in our field for Grades PK through Grade 4. Parents are invited to watch the parade from behind the caution tape, ensuring everyone's safety. Please be mindful of the areas with no parking on the streets, and consider parking at the town hall. Remember, students must come in appropriate costumes that are safe for walking; scary costumes or face-covering masks are not allowed. Be sure to adhere to your individual teacher's request and let's make this Halloween Parade a frightfully fun and safe experience for all.

If you do not wish for your student to partake in the event please notify their teacher as we will have an other activities for them.
