If you responded that you would not be able to attend and have since changed your mind, that's fine!

  Happy October! October is one of the longest months with no school breaks, so Halloween comes as a welcome end-of-the month celebration with its tricks, treats, crazy costumes, and all out fun! While this Halloween will be candy-free for me (gotta lose these COVID pounds), I'm looking forward to the events planned for this month. I'm excited for the Hispanic Heritage Month presentations our 4th and 2nd graders have prepared, I can't wait to be entertained by the award-winning Jose-Luis Orozco, and I am thrilled that our families will celebrate Halloween together with the Parade of Masks Car Parades. Yes! Let's get this October started! Hispanic Heritage Month Celebrations This month, we celebrate the history, culture, and contributions of Hispanic Americans. Be sure to join us for the Monday Mor ning Messages on October 5th and 12th as our 4th and 2nd grade st udents proudly honor Hispanic Americans and the contributions they've made to our society.   Make sure yo
