We are excited to share that we are holding a pumpkin decorating contest this year! Students may decorate a pumpkin at home and then bring it to school on Monday, October 30th. Students will take their pumpkin to the MPR at arrival.

• Only one pumpkin entry per student

• Pumpkins must be the size of a basketball or smaller (child needs to be able to carry it)

• 4 Categories: (choose one to enter)

• Funniest

• Scariest

• Most Original

• Most School Spirited

• Pumpkins can be carved or uncarved

• Student’s full name, grade, and category must be clearly labeled on the pumpkin. Use a sharpie, sticker or sign.

**All activities are OPTIONAL

We will be having a Halloween PBIS “Pep Rally” on Tuesday, October 31 at 10:05 on the lower grade playground. Grade levels (primary & upper) will be called up to parade around the court and show off their costumes. We’ll have some fun Halloween music playing. Pumpkin decorating contest winners will be announced.

You may come to school dressed up in your costume!

Please remember the following guidelines:

• Please wear age-appropriate costumes with proper footwear.

• Dress-code rules apply. Please avoid any costumes, parts or accessories that will distract your child or others from learning.

• Students MAY color their hair as long as hair returns to their natural color the following school day.

• The following are NOT ALLOWED: costume masks, face paint, fake blood or gore, weapons, inappropriate logos or sayings.

• Costumes must be age-appropriate, safe and functional.

**All activities are OPTIONAL

Brookhaven would like to honor Service men & women that served our country.

Those who are able are invited to a special Veteran's Day Flag Ceremony on Friday, November 3 at 8:00 a.m. They will be presented with a certificate from their Brookhaven student(s).

Reading and mathematics skills are the foundational building blocks for all other areas of learning, including science, social studies, and even technical fields. By building a strong foundation in these areas, students will successfully grasp more advanced, complex concepts.

Help your student build a strong foundation for success, spend 20 minutes each evening practicing math fact fluency and reading with your student. Learn more and access district-provided online resources at www.pylusd.org/buildingblocks.
