parades, parties and skating

So much to catch up on! We participated in the Halloween parade in Wapak this year. We, as the PTO, had talked about it in years past but for some reason, just never signed up. This year we did. Our school's theme is Reach For The Stars so we made our float around this theme. We have gold star costumes from last year's parade in Cridersville and some students wore these. PTO members donated their vehicle and trailer, as well as straw for the float. Another member had a giant star that was still wrapped in red and white garland from last year and we added that. We passed out bookmarks, informational papers and candy while walking the parade. What better way to create camaraderie within the school district than to participate in neighboring communities events!

We also participated in the Cridersville Halloween parade. We had a different float with the theme of Fishing for a Good Book. A PTO member donated their pontoon boat for our float and we again passed out bookmarks, informational papers and candy. We also had our gold stars walking with us.

Our first skating party was held on Monday, October 12. The PTO sponsors skating parties once a month at Edgewood Skate Arena. Students have the option of riding a bus from Cridersville School to Edgewood and home again.

Thanks, parents, staff and students for making Cridersville School a great place for a good start!
