Happy Halloween from O'Neil
Article content
Tomorrow is Halloween, and for O'Neil students that means a whole lot of fun at school!
Not only do we get to put on our costumes and parade around for prizes like Most Unique Costume, we get to do tons more fun activities like the ‘Mummy Wrap.’ We also will get our Monster Mash Moves on during our awesome Halloween dance.
Of course, after school, all students and children everywhere will get to dress up in their costumes, knock on every door in the neighbourhood, and get TONS of CANDY! Mmm… CANDY!
Monsignor O'Neil hopes everyone has a safe and happy Halloween. Remember to stick with friends or family you trust, check over the candy (or have an adult check it over) before you eat it, watch for cars, and stay in well lit areas... and of course, have lots of SPOOOOKY Halloween FUN!
Grade 5 students in Ms. Mair's class prepared for Halloween by making Pumpkin Mummies last week. Each student got a pumpkin, wrapped it like a mummy, and decorated it with creepy, spooky details, like spiders and googly eyes. They had a spooktacular time!
Students and Staff at Monsignor O'Neil would like to thank Kelsey's Restaurant for donating 20% of its proceeds from Tuesday night to us. We also thank everyone who participated by going to Kelsey's; I am sure you enjoyed some of the delicious food choices Kelsey's has to offer while supporting our school... what a great - and yummy - way to raise money!
Don't forget to order your "O'Neil Wear"! Order forms went out last Wednesday. There are so many great choices: T-shirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants, Dazzle Shorts, Full zip Hoodies and, Hooded sweatshirts.
Plus you get to choose many pieces of clothing you order in our school colours, grey, black and forest green. O'Neil Wear is great to have for all of our school spirit events, track and field, sports, Dance Fest, and not to mention gym class.
We as students should show we have pride in our school when we go to these events, after all, we DO have the best School Spirit in the LDCSB area... RIGHT?!?
