The annual Halloween teacher costume reveal is always a big hit and so much fun! The kids are ecstatic to figure out what they will be and see how they make their grand entrance!

Big thank you to Elite Limousine for donating the time/driver for our reveal and to Mary Pat Norgaard for helping with arrangements! It was so kind of them to do that! THANK YOU! Thanks to Mrs. Rausis, Miss Joffer's family, and Mr. Borges for bringing their cars as well! We love surprising the kids and it is such a fun tradition through the years!

Miss Leloux's 3rd graders went to Dow Rummel Assisted Living on October 20th to visit the residents. This has been a previous All City tradition that had been interrupted the past few years due to Covid so we are excited to get to go back! Residents and students had an awesome time hanging up door decorations and visiting with residents in their rooms while dressed up in their Halloween costumes. After that, students read to the residents. We had a great time volunteering and can't wait to go back!
