Halloween is upon us. Please take a look at the previous blog post regarding specific Halloween plans. Also, be sure to visit the school wide volunteer spreadsheet to bring in snack items for our events throughout the day. Click here to view the sign up sheet. Remember each snack item you bring in is worth 30 minutes of volunteer time.
In addition to day of fun, each year, Partner Families cherish the Halloween season as it gives them opportunity to spend time and work with their Partner Family members. Preparing for Halloween, each Partner Family spends GD time creating a "top secret" pumpkin character. Some years, pumpkins have been designed around the theme of prairie animal, favorite movie character, favorite book character, or a historical figure. This year, students are charged with designing their pumpkin to represent an animal from one of their Service Learning biome locations. Last Friday, your child met with their Partner Family to put together a design plan for their pumpkin biome animal.
Each Partner Family member is in charge of bringing various supplies. This year, the Kindergarten students are in charge of bringing the pumpkin. Take time with your child early this week to select a medium sized pumpkin to bring into Willowwind. Pumpkins of all sizes can be found at HyVee for $3.99. Please be sure your child brings in their pumpkin by THIS Wednesday, October 23rd. Pumpkin decorating will begin at the end of the week, so it is important that all supplies are here.
Let me know if you have questions. Happy pumpkin shopping.
