Borough Elementary Siegfried and Franklin buildings are having a favorite storybook dress-up day Oct. 29 as an optional event. Letters were sent home with more details.

All students in grades K-5 are allowed to dress up as their favorite storybook character from their favorite book. E-learners from home can participate from home, too. The students will also be reading stories and doing many activities related to the storybook day.

Costumes should not promote any violence. There will not be time to change into costumes at school, so costumes should be worn to school.

Face coverings will still be required.

Join the fun, and get creative!
