K-3 Book Character Parade
K-3 Character Day Parade:
What: Book Character Dress-Up Day
Choose your favorite book character and come to school dressed up as that character.
Who: K-3 Students
When: Thursday, October 17th
Time: 2:00 p.m (Back car loop)
HERE’S THE PLAN: Each student will bring a copy of a book, or comic book, that includes the character they are representing. The book must be one that the child has either read or listened to an adult read. They must have the book with them (or a small poster of the book cover) because they will carry this during the parade at 2:00.
ARE THERE ANY RULES ABOUT THE COSTUMES?
Yes! Make sure the costume covers the same area as
the uniform. Please wear closed toe shoes. Masks may not be worn in the classroom; only during the parade! Nothing ghoulish or scary is acceptable. You may bring accessories (i.e.: a Honey Pot for Winnie the Pooh), but they cannot be toy weapons or any other object that might be considered threatening. If your child is not wearing a costume, the DCSS school uniform must be worn.
Parents are invited to come to the “Character Parade” at 2:00 p.m. You’ll want to arrive by 1:45 p.m. Bring your cameras and enjoy! After the parade is over, parents must sign their child(ren) out in the office if they intend to take them home.
Any questions, please contact……Jill M. Morales: jmorales@southsidecharter.org
