On Thursday 31 October, Graettinger-Terril Elementary will be having our Fall PBIS celebration day. As a part of this, children may wear a costume for a $1 donation to our PBIS fund for materials and snack items. Children do not HAVE to wear a costume. Any costume worn must fit under the following parameters:
-No weapons or weapon look-a likes.
-No props with the costume. This means things that need to be attached to the costume or carried in hands.
-No gory or gruesome costuming.
-No full face coverings.
We reserve the right to determine if something is acceptable under these guidelines. Our celebration is not about Halloween. It is about the good choices and actions the students have made for the first quarter. Thank you for your support!
