Martin Luther King Jr. Speech Contest – Our students have the opportunity to honor Dr. King’s legacy by participating in our annual speech contest. Students are invited to write and share short speeches inspired by Dr. King’s messages of courage, kindness, equality, and service. This event helps students practice public speaking while reflecting on how they can make a positive difference in our school and community. Class competitions will be held prior to the school competition on October 24th.

Our Fall Festival - including our costume parade and trunk or treat - will be held Friday, October 24th from 6:00-8:00pm at the school.

6:00-6:20pm - Halloween Parade

Students meet in the gym at 6pm
Parents line the parade route on the field
Because this is a school-sponsored event, costumes need to meet school guidelines:

Be respectful: Avoid stereotypes. Be racially sensitive and culturally appropriate. Students may not dress up as an ethnic or cultural group. Skin color must not be altered in any way. Based on the yearly state Title VI/Indian Education meeting, and in respect to the Native American view, students should refrain from dressing up as Native Americans (i.e., Pocahontas, Sacagawea, Sitting Bull, etc.).
Be responsible: Costumes may not be gory or threatening.
Be safe: No real or pretend weapons.
Be kind: Costumes should be fun and exciting, not political or offensive.

6:20-8:00pm - Trunk or Treat, dancing, games, treats!

Fall Festival is the kids' opportunity to show off their costumes as costumes aren't allowed at school on Halloween Day, so please join us!

Term 1 ends this Wednesday, October 15th. Teachers will work to input grades next Monday and throughout the week. Grades will be available to parents in myDSD beginning Friday, October 24th at 4pm.
