October 30th: Halloween Party!








For the Moms:

Today was mostly about the kids, but there were just a couple of notes for the moms:

*Trick-or-Treating at the mall runs from 3-5pm on Friday*

*A notice from Health Canada was issued about chocolate gold coins that may be contaminated with melamine (the same chemical causing infant fatalities in China). Play it safe - if your kids get any chocolate gold coins while out trick-or-treating - just throw them out!*

For the Tots:

We had alot of spooky fun with all of our little monsters! The kids danced to Halloween music and played in the balloons, played "jump over the monster," worked on a paper Jack-O-Lantern craft with Sister Palmer, made slime with Sister Metz, experimented with dry-ice, bobbed for apples, and very bravely entered the "Haunted Ghost Room" in search of their treat-bag to take home along with a ghosty-lollipop craft from Sister Romeril! And of course we snacked on a wonderful variety of great spooky treats! Thanks so much to everyone who participated and brought treats and activities for the kids - they had a blast!!!
