We’re excited to celebrate our favorite book characters with a fun parade at tomorrow's Community Circle! Please help your student prepare by following these simple guidelines:

• Book character costumes only (no non-book Halloween costumes)

• No scary costumes

• No masks

We can’t wait for this joyful celebration of reading! Thank you for helping us keep the focus on fun and learning by ensuring costumes are creative but not distracting.

A huge thank you to all of our families for encouraging your kiddos, counting those reading minutes, reading when called upon, and supporting our fundraising efforts. Your support helped make this year’s Read-A-Thon such a success!

We’re excited to share the final standings for both reading minutes and fundraising at Community Circle tomorrow. Most of all, we’re incredibly grateful for the many ways you showed up for our readers and our school.

Thank you, PTA Read-A-Thon Committee
