Halloween

Band @ Davis Cup Invitational

We love Halloween at SFHS and look forward to celebrating it with our students. Students may dress up for Halloween, but their costumes need to meet the following guidelines:

• Costumes must follow the Nebo School District dress and grooming standards.

• Full-face paint and full-face masks may not be worn. We need to be able to readily recognize our students.

• In compliance with Nebo School District's Safe Schools Policy, weapons are not allowed at school even if they are fake and part of a costume.

Happy Halloween!
