Costume Expectations

We want the day to be fun, safe, and age-appropriate for all of our Angellfish. Please review these expectations with your child:

• Age-appropriate and respectful. Costumes should be suitable for elementary students and follow the Angell ACTs: kindness, safety, and productivity. Costumes should not make fun of real people, human traits, or cultures.

• No horror or violence themes. Costumes with scary, gory, or violent elements are not allowed.

• No weapons or sports equipment. Students may not bring toy guns, knives, swords, bats, hockey sticks, or similar items as part of their costume.

• No masks or extreme makeup. Full masks and face paint that hide a student's identity are not allowed. Please also skip the fake blood.

• Comfort and safety. Costumes should let students move safely, sit comfortably, and use the restroom on their own.

• When to wear costumes. Students should wear their costumes to school on Friday, October 30th. After the parade and classroom celebrations, teachers will let students know if they may change out of their costumes.

Donating to Class Funds helps make our Angell classrooms extra special! Contributions support classroom parties, end-of-year celebrations, teacher appreciation, and our schoolwide Ice Cream Social baskets. Every donation, big or small, helps create fun, memorable experiences for our students and shows our teachers how much we appreciate all they do.

The PTA's Teacher/Staff Appreciation Committee is trying something a little different this year to try to achieve more consistent stocking of the staff lounge. We will be trialing bi-monthly 'stock the lounge' events split between the grades and one final school-wide 'stock the lounge' event in April.

October: TK/K & 5th Grade

December: 1st & 4th Grade

February: 2nd & 3rd Grade

April: Whole school

So, TK/K/5th Grade families, we need your help for October! Please help us reward our well-deserving staff with some treats to get through the day. Here is the Amazon Wishlist link: https://tinyurl.com/Angell26 if you would like to choose something.

If you'd like to purchase a similar item from the store, please email bphaneuf14@gmail.com to arrange pickup.

Thank you very much!
