Chester Elementary School

Your student can tell you that each Monday, at the conclusion of the morning announcements, there is the telling of a "Monday Funday" (joke of the day). It dawned on me that parents shouldn't miss out on all of the fun, so here you go: here's a great Halloween tip for fixing a broken jack-o-lantern: use a pumpkin patch.

Halloween is, of course, next Monday and the staff at CES has a few requests and reminders regarding costumes:

1. Costumes may be worn to school.
2. No masks during the school day (age-appropriate masks can be worn for the CES parade).
3. No make-up or blood.
4. No weapons or anything violent.

The CES parade gets underway at 12:40 and runs until 1:10. Parents are invited! Hope you can join us for some fun. A reminder that we are out at 1:20 and that the Merchant Trick-or-Treat runs from 3:00-5:00.

Sincerely,

Scott Cory

Principal
