We had a visit from a prehistoric guest today at Brantford, but luckily Mme Parks was able to save our children.  Big thanks to Mr. Yau for sharing his amazing costume this morning at Brantford.  To get a sense of just how amazing this costume was, check out the video attached below.

In addition, our ghoulish parents transformed our library into a Haunted House.  Not only did they spend approximately 6 hours last night working hard to make this special for our kiddos, but they also spend another 6 hours Halloween Day to run the Haunted House.  We are SO lucky at Brantford to have such an amazing community.

Dear Parents,

The Enchanted Forest Scholastic Book Fair will be running at our school from Monday, November 26^th to Thursday, November 29^th.  I am excited to raise funds for our library!  We can’t do it by ourselves through – the library needs your help.
