BRES Fall Festival & Costume Parade

We’re gearing up for an awesome Halloween and Fall Festival at BRES next Friday! Our costume parade event will take place from 2:25-3:15, and we will follow this parade route: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1my2yrnqeOLMz7fpRq1jcZzvDQyrwNUe3/view?usp=sharing

Onlookers are invited to line the bus loop, car loop, and blacktop to snap a picture of your redfox in their frightful attire! Please be mindful to socially distance to the extent possible, and to keep your mask on when you cannot maintain 6ft of distance.  

If you are unable to attend the costume parade, or want to avoid the crowds, you’re in luck! We’ve scheduled a webinar to join in on the fun virtually.

When curating your child’s costume for the BRES parade, please consider the following guidelines: 

  • Costumes should be able to easily go on top students’ normal clothing (ie., avoid the need to change out of “regular” clothing and into the costume).

  • Weapons and other handhelds that can be used as weapons should be left at home.

  • Costumes should be school-appropriate (aligned with MCPS dress code expectations, and avoiding heavily gory or graphic costumes) 

  • If you are unsure of a certain costume, consult with your child’s teacher.

  • If you are in need of a costume, your child is welcome to browse our BRES supply in the office on Thursday or Friday of next week! 

  • If you have costumes that are in good condition and you no longer need them, you can donate them to BRES for students in need.  Please send them in to school labeled as a donation and/or drop them off directly in the main office.

Class parties will take place from 2:15-3:15, and individual teachers are coordinating with room parents to determine specific class needs.  As a reminder, only room parents who have coordinated with teachers to volunteer in the classroom will be allowed in the building on 10/29, and all volunteers must have completed the volunteer training and uploaded their proof of vaccination.  For all necessary details, review this guidance document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1URJRNYdUyyL0ghVzZ32xLqPmkE7IwUvcRF2qid89ojA/edit?usp=sharing 

If you do not celebrate Halloween, or would not like your child to participate in the Halloween festivities, students will have access to an alternate activity and fun at the Fall Festival event.  Please let your child’s teacher know your preference so that we can plan accordingly for our Fall Festival buddies!
