October 31st– Trick or Treating on GV Campus

We will be heading out onto campus at about 9 a.m. please have your child at the center

before this time so they can participate in the activities. You may bring them in costume, part

of it, or we can help them get dressed prior to leaving. However if there are a lot of parts to

assemble and put together, please have your child at school no later than 8:45 a.m. so we can

help all of the children and still leave by 9 a.m.

We will provide a bag for the children to use while trick or treating.

We do ask that costumes are not violent and if there are accessories that could be lost it may

be best to not include them. We do not want the accessories to get dropped or lost during the

event.

If you want to join you are more than welcome to.
