Cathedral Chapel School News From Miss Tina Katherine Kipp, Principal Tuesday, October 20, 2015 Halloween Celebration:
Friday, October 30, 2015
We will celebrate Halloween on Friday, October 30, 2015. The students may not wear inappropriate costumes to school e.g. NO devils, NO French maids, NO Ku Klux Klan, NO Freddy Krueger, NO Bart Simpson, NO Joker costumes, NO mafia characters, NO Grim Reaper, NO Ebola costumes, NO Caitlyn Jenner costumes or other people who are contrary to the philosophy of a CATHOLIC SCHOOL. WEAPONS of any kind are NOT allowed with the Halloween costumes. If a student has a MASK, they may bring it to school and wear it during the parade if it is nonviolent. MASKS may not be worn all day! Our children experience enough violence in the daily news and in TV programs so we are asking parents to carefully consider the costume their child will be wearing to school. As we celebrate Halloween, we encourage you as parents to help your children choose costumes that honor heroes or positive historical figures. Any costume that speaks of violence or bloodshed will not be allowed. Any student who does not wear an APPROPRIATE costume will be sent home to change into the school uniform. The Department of Catholic Schools has reminded us that Halloween was originally a Christian preparation for the feast of All Saints’ Day and our celebration of Halloween should reflect our Catholic School philosophy. The students will have some classes in the morning so if you think your child’s costume might be too distracting or uncomfortable to wear all day, they can change during the lunch hour. The students in the upper grades should not put on any makeup or facial decorations until the lunch hour. Makeup that speaks of violence or bloodshed will not be allowed.
Halloween is supposed to be a FUN day for ALL teachers and students! Please choose an appropriate costume for a Catholic School! Schedule for CCS Halloween Celebration! 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM:
