The annual Sheckler Elementary School Halloween parade is canceled this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Students will not be permitted to dress up in their Halloween costumes.

Instead, a fall festival will be held to keep spirits high. Activities include pumpkin decorating, grade-level fall theme decorating and fall fun classroom parties.

Teachers will be sending home information.
