Community Schools Partnership is hosting a PlayDay on Friday, October 20th at Seaquam Secondary School. The camp will run from 9am to 3pm and include Halloween-themed games, crafts and other activities! If you’re interested in registering or getting more information, please visit: https://cimsweb.deltasd.bc.ca/publicconnect/DECourse.aspx.

We encourage all students to celebrate Halloween safely with the following hints and tips:

1. Practice costume safety: Make sure all costumes, wigs and accessories are fire resistant. Make sure the costume is comfortable and doesn’t pose a tripping hazard for your child.
2. For costumes worn to school:

• Please ensure your child’s face is visible at all times. Masks and any other items that prevent students from being identified will not be permitted at school.
• Costumes must not include weapons, replica weapons or objects that can be mistaken as such.
• Costumes must not contain any words or images that could be offensive to others.

3. If using makeup, choose non-toxic cosmetic products and test on a small area first to see if any irritation occurs. Many kids have sensitive skin.
4. Increase your child’s visibility – use reflective tape or give them flashlights or glow sticks to carry to ensure they are visible to motorists.
5. Encourage kids to stay together and have them stick to familiar, well-lit areas.
6. Reiterate that they should never enter a stranger’s house or accept a ride from someone they don’t know.
7. Inspect your child’s candy before they indulge and make sure to remove any treats that aren’t age appropriate (e.g., gum or jawbreakers) or that contain food items they are allergic to.
