Halloween Fun

A.R. Lord students and Teachers/ Staff celebrated the spookiest of all days in full costume! Halloween festivities included a halloween costume parade in the gymnasium and an all-participation dance to Michael Jackson's "Thriller".  Halloween crafts and some shared snack parties were also included in some classrooms.

Halloween Celebrations - Boo!

Monday October 31st is Halloween and Dr. A.R. Lord Students are free to come in a costume to school if they would like. We recommend that if they have a weapon prop (eg. gun, sword, knife etc) as part of their costume, that they leave these at home. An assembly costume parade will be held at 9:20am and parent/caregivers/siblings are welcome to attend. If your child  is having a classroom party and you have been asked to send a snack to share, please ensure that it is nut-free! 

Halloween Hot Lunch

On the Friday before Halloween, the Parent Advisory Council hosted Hot Lunch.  

Parent helpers lead by PAC Member Linda,  prepared and served A.R. Lord students and staff a wonderful free lunch of hot dogs on whole wheat buns,  juicy mandarin oranges, baby carrots, and lovely halloween sugar cookies baked by small business owner/baker:  Munchies by Mash.

We also had the great collaboration of local neighbourhood Donald's Market at Nanaimo and Hastings who provided great value on our food purchases and convenient delivery right to our school!

THANK YOU ALL!

HALLOWEEN FUN

Halloween isn't Just for Kids!

We think that the Teachers, Parents, and Staff had just as much fun this Halloween as all the Students! They donned their best costumes in the spirit of of this spooky and fulfilled day! A.R. Lord Elementary has such a great community where all are engaged, participate and make our school special!

Keeping Smiles Bright for Halloween!

This weekend will no doubt be filled with candy, sweets and treats....but A.R. Lord students also brought home a complimentary mini-bottle of Anti-Cavity Rinse to keep teeth clean!  Thanks for the generous donation from Dr. Michelle Tao, a local dentist located on Commercial Drive.
