🎃 Taylor Elementary Halloween Parade 🎃

Taylor Elementary will be holding our Halloween Parade on Friday, October 30! Parents are welcome to join us and watch the parade from the courtyard.

• The parade will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m.
• Students should come to school wearing their Halloween costumes.
• Parents should line the designated parade path in the courtyard. The path will be roped off for the parade.
• After the parade, students will change out of their costumes. Please send a bag large enough to hold their costume.
• Students should wear their regular clothes underneath their costumes to make changing easier.
• 
  

🎃 Taylor Elementary Costume Guidelines 🎃

• Respectful: no ethnic or cultural stereotypes; limited skin alterations
• Responsible: family friendly, never gory or threatening.
• Safe: no weapons or masks; hats and crowns OK.
• Kind: fun, never offensive. Fictional characters allowed.
• Now blowup costumes that cover the face (no clear plastic covers over faces) students need to be easily/quickly identifiable.

​

We look forward to a fun morning celebrating Halloween with our Taylor Mustangs!
