On Friday, October 31, is Neidig's annual Storybook Character Parade. All Neidig families are welcome to attend this fun event. The parade takes place on the Neidig playground, beginning at 2:55 PM. During the event, families will report directly to the playground, and may not enter through the building. More information will be provided the day prior to the event.
Important guidelines about students' costumes / outfits.
Please review this list carefully so we can avoid any upset feelings on the day of the parade.
This is a storybook character parade, so please be sure your child is wearing something that reflects a character from a piece of literature.
Absolutely no blood, gore, or weapons of any kind.
No Masks. Students are not permitted to wear masks or anything covering their face. Students will be walking outside and up and down steps, so this is done as a safety measure. If a mask is a vital part of the student's outfit, they are permitted to carry the mask, but they cannot wear it. Again, no masks.
Students should arrive at school wearing their storybook character costume, and they will wear this attire for the ENTIRE day. The costume / outfit must be comfortable, and the costume should not prevent students from learning throughout the day.
Family members will not be able to come to school and help their children change or prepare for the parade. As stated in the previous point, students will arrive at school in their attire, and remain in outfit for the day. We know there may be some small exceptions, and students may have a small prop to carry once the parade begins. (Again, absolutely no weapons of any kind.)
We are allowing inflatables this year, but they cannot cover the student’s face or hands at any time, neither during class or the parade. (See No Masks above). The inflatable must conform to the above regulations and your student must be able to work normally throughout the school day. If the outfit does impact classroom performance, the student will need to take off the inflatable until the start of the parade.
Monthly PAL Meetings
This year's PAL meetings include a school presentation AND the PAL meeting. Mr. Godshalk, Dr. Kenyon, and other members of the school team will share information about our school's programs during these meetings.
