Attention all heroic parents of West Bourbon Elementary!
The day after Halloween can be especially challenging when getting your kids ready for school. Dealing with a tired and cranky child can feel like trying to dress a feral cat! It's best to avoid bribing them with leftover candy and sending them off to school with sugary treats. We prefer your child still in their pajamas, rather than sending them in a hyperactive state after a sugar binge...lol.
On November 1st, send your little ones to school with a clear head. It is crucial for them to rise and shine for school! Together, let's encourage our students to embrace the day ahead with open minds, full hearts, and maybe just a tad less face paint than yesterday. We will help them detox from the Halloween candy and return them to you at 3:30 pm.
Remember, knowledge is their greatest treat, and every day at school is a chance for them to grow and learn. So, gear them up for a day of post-Halloween learning! Thank you for your cooperation.
