Falcon Families of Sheboygan Falls Elementary
School

 

Greetings, Falcon Families!

 

In an effort to balance
our academic routines with important social and cultural opportunities for our
students, we’d like to share information on our classroom celebrations. 
We hope this helps your family to plan and enjoy some exciting social milestones
in your elementary child’s experience. 

 

Several holiday-centered
celebrations have developed into traditions in our building.  Students and
their families look forward to these special themes and celebrations, and it
may be helpful to know these traditions as your child progresses through
school.  Halloween, in particular, is an exciting time.  We wish to
tie our school celebration to curriculum to use our time wisely, create
excitement surrounding learning pieces (such as reading, Wisconsin history, and
science), and remain sensitive to families’ unique approaches to this
traditional holiday.  Our grade levels celebrate at the end of October in
the following themes:

 

EC, 4K and Kindergarten	When I grow up, I want to be: Students dress to reflect an idea they have about what they will do when they grow up!
First Grade	Story Book celebration: Students dress as their favorite story book character and share their favorite book.
Second Grade	Everyday Heroes: Students can chose to dress up as an everyday hero that they admire! Someone who is strong, brave, selfless, honest, and/or kind. Some examples are: a military member, a sports hero, a family member, a community hero, or a past hero.
Third Grade	Mad Scientist day: Students dress as scientists and participate in a day of science demonstrations, experiments, and more.
Fourth Grade	Wisconsin theme: Students dress to reflect our Wisconsin heritage. This can include sports team apparel or Wisconsin history. Accurate creativity encouraged!

  

We ask that families
refrain from dressing their child with potentially scary accessories such as
fake blood, weapons, masks (other than their current face covering), etc. 
Please also keep in mind that costumes worn for the entire school day still
need to allow for daily activities.  Students will still need to go to
recess, physical education class, perform typical daily tasks, eat lunch,
etc.  These guidelines help all students to enjoy the day.

 

While our themes are
intended to spark creativity and support learning, we understand that the
themes may not coincide with your family’s chosen costumes for this traditional
holiday.  Please don’t feel that you need to make an additional
purchase to enjoy this school dress-up experience.  Our school
mission, vision, and commitments emphasize innovation, so it’s
great to see creative use of common clothing or materials to share the
excitement of imagination!  

 

In previous years, your
child’s classroom may have hosted a brief celebration including treats, outside
visitors, etc.  We ask that you do not send treats this year for safety
reasons.  We will focus on celebrating the themes within our school
community that do not tie to food, and find ways to include “visitors”
virtually, through photos, art or other creative means.

 

Please feel free to
contact your child’s teacher or the school office with specific questions.

Thank you!

Sincerely,

Lynn Bub, SFES Principal                                  Shelley Hyde,
SFES Associate Principal
