Little Shasta Elementary

We are starting to plan for Halloween in the time of COVID but have come up with some pretty fun ideas. The teachers have already started Halloween projects. Mrs. Robinson has been bringing in some of her beautiful, multi-colored pumpkins and our own school garden has over 25 pumpkins this year! Both classrooms decorated their doors for Halloween and Mrs. Salvestro did a special unit on spiders. The kids will all be going to Papa's Pumpkin Patch on Wednesday of this week to have fun and pick out a pumpkin.

On Friday the 30th,we will have our Halloween celebration at school. As public gatherings are still prohibited, we will be hosting an event during the day, just for the kids. Costumes will be allowed with the same provisions we have used in the past, no weapons or violent characters. Masks can be brought but not worn during school and no candy from home. We will be doing station style games and activities to allow for proper distancing and will include trick or treats for prizes. We will also be hosting a hot dog, BBQ lunch outside just for fun, it should be a great day!!

I also am pleased to announce that our Board at our October meeting approved a contract for architect services to build a new lobby to be added on to the Multi-Purpose Room. While the immediate use will be to serve as our COVID screening room protected from the weather, it was a project we had talked about before the pandemic. The cold, windy and wet weather make it very uncomfortable to wait outside until someone can get the door for you. The lobby will allow parents and visitors to get out of the weather while waiting.

Don't forget that Daylight Savings Time ends Sunday, November 1st, the day after Halloween. Stay healthy folks, Winter is coming...
