Halloween Parade - Oct. 31, 2022

October 2022

Dear Parents/Guardians:

On Monday, October 31st, the students of Ferderbar Elementary will be holding their annual costume parade. All parents, guardians and siblings are invited to attend our parade.  For safety reasons, we will ask that Ferderbar families attending the parade view the parade from the outside perimeter of the fence as the parade passes along the blacktop. The parade will begin at 2:20 p.m.  In the event of rain, the afternoon parade will take place in the building for students and staff only. 

With regard to the ever-increasing daily themes of aggression and violence in our society, the Ferderbar staff asks that parents carefully monitor the costume choices worn by students this day.  We are requiring that costume accessories, which could be construed as weapons, not be part of your child's costume choice. Please save make-up and elaborate accessories for Halloween night.

In an effort to maintain a safe and secure atmosphere during our Halloween celebration, please adhere to the following:

•    Students are not permitted to go home to get ready for the parade.
•    No costumes may be worn to school on the bus
•    Please do not park in the Poquessing MS parking lot.

We are asking for your cooperation in order to keep the day in proper perspective and in a secure and educational environment.

Thank you for your support and cooperation.

Mr. Modica
