Prior to introductions, the PA announcer will share with attendees to meet “me and student leaders” by the stage in the Fieldhouse.

Costume Parade and Fall Class Parties
2023-10-31 13:45 - 14:45 | Santa Fe Trail Elementary, 7100 Lamar Ave, Overland Park, KS, 66204, United States
On October 31, the SFT costume parade will be at 1:45, followed by fall class parties at 2:00-2:45 pm. Parents and guardians are welcome! Costumes are optional. If your student is planning to wear a costume, here are the guidelines:

Students should bring their costumes in a bag to change into before the parade. Students will wear their costumes over their school clothes, if possible.
Please have young students practice putting on their costume. Please save the fancy, complicated costumes for outside of school.
No make-up, or colored hair.
Costumes should be culturally and socially sensitive. Respect for all individuals and groups needs to be demonstrated.
Costumes should not suggest violence in any manner. No weapons can be implied (such as swords, knives, guns, light sabers, etc.)
Students are encouraged to use their imagination in creating their costumes.
A good rule of thumb would be to keep from wearing anything that would scare a kindergarten student.
Parents/guardians who attend the class party may take their student home after the parties are over. The front drive must be cleared by 2:50 for dismissal.

Also, if you are planning to attend, please consider donating a little bit of your time to help pull off this event. Adult/teen volunteers make this SFT party happen, and most time slots are just 30 minutes. Sign up at the link below, and thank you!
