The Cub Hub

This week is Love Your Brain Week:

Monday - Hat Day

Tuesday - Crazy Sock Day

Wednesday - Work Out Wear

Thursday - Fall Party Day and Costume Day

Remember - Costumes should not be scary or gory. Costume masks should not be worn. Medical masks are always allowed. No props or accessories should be brought. Cubs will still have recess and PE. So, it is best that they can still access their day without assistance.

A reminder that students will not attend classes on November 1, 2024 for the observance of Diwali. Diwali is known as the Festival of Lights. Diwali is a Hindu observance celebrated throughout the world. Festivities include the illumination of lights, candles, firecrackers, and diya (clay lamps) to symbolize the victory of good over evil, inner light over spiritual darkness, and knowledge over ignorance. Diwali is a time for gathering with loved ones, celebrating life, and committing to making the right decisions in life.

If you would like to learn more about this important holiday, please review these resources:

• 5 Things to Know About Diwali- This resource from the Hindu American Foundation provides key information about this important holiday.

• This video from PBS Learning Media shows a reenactment of the event that most Hindus observe as the inspiration for Diwali.

See you Monday.

Sincerely,

Theressa Lewis
