Book-O-Ween will be on Thursday, October 31 from 2:15-2:45! We look forward to hosting this Mustang favorite! We are asking the room parents to deliver one small bag of candy per student to the homeroom teacher. All pieces of candy must be wrapped and nut-free. We appreciate all of your support this school year! 

Guardians are invited to attend the parade. Parents must enter through the field from Kalmia.

If a guardian wants to pick up their student at the end of the parade, they must sign the student out directly with the classroom teacher.

Thank you so much for participating in the 2024 Fall Fest! Across all the games, food, and other activities, we were able to raise over $6k for Shepherd.

Special Shoutout to MVP, Simon Messing, who managed DPW trash, contributed all our recycling containers, and fended off an army of bees to ensure the street was returned to its normal condition. 

We wanted to recognize our entertaining, talented, and tasty vendors from 2024 Fall Fest. Big shout out to our very own Mr. Velez, who turned it up with the best tunes to keep the festivities going. If you want to contact other vendors for your next party, visit the links below.
