Hello Scenic Hill Families,
Please join us this Friday, November 8th from 6:00-8:00 p.m. for dancing, games, crafts and food! Admission is free and food will be available for purchase.
All children must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of their time at the event. Children who are dropped off without an adult will be asked to wait outside with a staff member until their parent or guardian comes to pick them up or join them at the dance.
The event will include a PTA sponsored ofrenda in celebration of Dia de los Muertos. Families will be welcome to add photos, mementos, and crafts to the ofrenda to honor their loved ones who have passed.
Please ensure that photos are copies, not originals, and that mementos are school appropriate and not fragile. You can email photos to Ms. Martin at erin.martin@kent.k12.wa.us to be printed prior to the event. Please include your child's name and relation to the individual in the photograph in the email.
