APO HALLOWEEN SPOOKTACULAR – THURSDAY 3:20-5:30pm
The APO has been hard at work putting together a new fun, fall event with the “Halloween Spooktacular,” which is scheduled for Thursday from 3:20 to 5:30 pm. To attend, students must complete a Google Form to sign up with a teacher to do homework from 2:40-3:20 pm. Students then report to the recess area for the event. Tickets are for sale during lunches again on Thursday.
The cost is $5.00 or for $20.00 a t-shirt and admission are provided! Snacks will be for sale at the event. Additionally, the Sand Lake Kiwanis is providing cider and donuts for students!
