Lower School Update - October 29, 2018

The Eagle’s Nest
Two classes were awarded the Golden G award today for demonstrating integrity the past week. Congratulations to Ms. Mendonca’s second grade class and Ms. Fatma’s fourth grade class!

Eagle Way Tip of the Week
This week, we begin the month of November and highlighting Graded’s Core Value of kindness.  The week of Nov. 5 is our schoolwide kindness week and LS students will have daily challenges.  Please join us by conducting acts of kindness at home and in the community. The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation has a wealth of information and ideas to help you get started.

Halloween Parade
Our Halloween parades will take place on Thursday. For half day students (full day Pre-Primary students also participate) the parade will begin at 10:00 a.m. in front of the Lower School Office. For full day students (K5 to 5th grade) the parade will begin at 2:10 p.m. on the field.

We encourage children to dress in fantasy costumes that are creative and fun, but discourage violent and horror costumes. Pre-Primary students may come dressed in their costumes from home. First through Fifth grade students should bring costumes to change into at school in the afternoon.

Our afternoon parade will take place on the field this year. All Graded Students will be present and parents are welcome to watch from the stands. Lower School students will start the parade and complete a lap around the field. The students will then walk to their classroom where they will have a party. All parents are welcome to join classroom parties! If you are taking your child home after the party, please ensure the classroom teacher is aware.
Below is a map of the parade route:
