Grade 3 events that need parent help

Parents and friends are invited to the Lower School costume parade at 2:30 p.m. (the school's Oct 7 calendar; the sheet said 2:00 to 2:30) around the school building; signs will show where visitors can stand. Children parade around the block with their grade.
Before the parade, students have a treat in the classroom. One parent per class brings it: cupcakes, cookies, clementines dressed as jack-o'-lanterns, whatever inspires you. It doesn't need to be candy and must be nut-free.
Costumes: nothing inflatable or bulky, no weapons, no full-coverage masks (hygiene masks are fine). Please keep costumes culturally respectful, and reuse, swap, or DIY where you can.
