SJB Will Have Halloween Parade
Halloween will be celebrated at SJB on Thursday, October 28, which is a half-day with 12 noon dismissal.
Update: There will be a Halloween Parade around the field starting at about 8:45 am.
Parents will be able to come and watch the parade from the field or from a designated spectator section in the lot. Students will be able to wear costumes to school that day.
To encourage simple costumes for the children, we are skipping the costume contest this year. We'll still have opportunities for prizes, fun, and 8th grade masters of ceremony.
We'll have more details for you in the next few weeks.
Just a reminder: there will be no school on Friday, October 29, a professional development day for all Catholic school elementary teachers in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington.
