Alma Families,
On Friday, October 27, we will hold our annual Book Character Day! This is an opportunity for staff, scholars, and families to celebrate our shared love of reading. We invite all scholars and staff to come to school dressed as their favorite book character.

Requirements

The character must be from a book that the scholar has read. Scholars should NOT dress up as a character from a movie or television show. Remember, we are celebrating our love of reading!
Scholars who do not meet behavioral expectations on Thursday, October 26th will not be permitted to participate. If a scholar is not safe or requires out of class time due to behavior choices on October 26, they will not be allowed to participate in Book Character Day. Families will be contacted after school on 10/26 to inform them if their scholar is not able to dress up.
Scholars who are not dressed as book characters are required to be in uniform.

Please note the following costume guidelines:
Store-bought costumes and homemade costumes are both permitted. Items around the house make great costumes!
Scholars may not wear masks or fake blood (other face paint is ok).
Scholars may not bring weapons of any kind (fake or real).
All items must be appropriate for school (no bare shoulders or crop tops).
No ripped Jeans, No Hoodies
Scholars must wear or bring appropriate shoes for P.E. and recess.
Costumes may not interfere with movement or safety (scholars will have Physical Education as usual).
