Dear Fifth Grade Families,
I hope everyone is well. Here’s a look at what’s coming up this week, 10/28-11/01. Please make sure to read all important information to avoid questions that are clearly stated on all emails. I would greatly appreciate it! If you missed my email last week, you can check out my school blog; http://www.stanthonygardena.org/fifth-grade/
Deadlines:
Nov 4th -1st trimester Mass reflection (6 reflections for the 1st trimester)
Halloween Costumes:
To ensure that all costumes follow our school’s Halloween guidelines, I ask that you let me know what costume your child plans to wear on October 31. Costumes must be appropriate and pre-approved, or a student may be sent home to change. Please share your child’s costume using the link below:

- Costumes should be child-friendly. No inflatables, gory or scary clowns, devils, or scary costumes.
- Costumes should not:
- Be obstructive, offensive, or inappropriate for a Catholic school (no skimpy or revealing outfits, gory, evil, or violent themes).
- Drag on the ground.
- Contain sharp or pointed objects that could accidentally strike another person.
- Include weapons that resemble or could be mistaken for an actual weapon.
- Encourage cross-dressing. Boys dress like boys, and girls dress like girls.
- Students must bring their own Halloween buckets/bag for trunk or treat. All students and adults volunteering may dress in their favorite appropriate Halloween costume and must follow these guidelines. The events are for students only. Adults working at or volunteering on campus for Trunk or Treat may earn hours for decorating their trunks and helping to pass out candy. More information for volunteers will be given to parents by our Room Parent PLC lead and Trunk or Treat Lead.
Saint Dress-Up- Friday, Nov 1
On November 1st, Students may come to school dressed up as ANY Saint.
Saint costumes do not need to be elaborate! Students will process in Mass with the school in their costumes. Costumes should go over your child’s school uniform, as we will be changing after Mass. This will be part of their Religion participation and work habits grade.
