Halloween Fun
Date: Oct 22-28
Good day Folks,
As my daughter says: Halloween is the best "holiday" of the year. Our first Halloween occasion in three years was a hit! Families from the community enjoyed games, dancing, and cake walks, and, of course, the fireworks finale was amazing. Thank you to all the families and businesses who donated to the occasion, and thank you to the volunteers, fire department, PAC, and students who helped make it a night for kids to remember.
Don’t forget about the Halloween haunted house and dance party at the NDYC next weekend (Saturday, Oct 28th). All proceeds from that event go to our Blewett PAC. Thank you to the NDYC for supporting our school kids
