As part of Halloween festivities at Murch, we invite parents/guardians to attend and watch our annual Halloween parade, which we are excited to continue this year.  The parade will be held outdoors and will kick off at 2:45 PM on Thursday, October 29. Reminder: There is NO SCHOOL on Oct. 30, Nov. 1, and Nov. 2. 

Costumes: Please check with your child’s teacher regarding costume do’s and don’ts, but a general rule of thumb at Murch is:

• No fake weapons
• No costume masks during the school day
• Costume masks can be worn during the parade

Viewing: We invite parents/guardians to view the parade from the city block around Murch or from the playground; these are great spots for picture taking.

Pick Up: After the parade, dismissal will take place, per normal procedures, at 3:05 (Pre-K) or 3:15 pm (K-5).  Please do not pick students up from the parade route but stay until the conclusion of the parade.  This is to ensure that all students are safely and appropriately dismissed to the correct locations.

It will be a busy and exciting day, but our primary focus is always the safety of your children.  Thank you for your cooperation, and we look forward to sharing the excitement of Halloween with you!
