Dear MOSTA Families,

Students are welcome to wear their Halloween costumes to school! We want everyone to have a fun and safe celebration, so please review the following guidelines:

👻 Costume Guidelines:

No masks or costume makeup.

No weapons of any kind, including toy or prop weapons.

No scary, violent, or gruesome costumes.

🍬 Candy Sharing:
Students are welcome to bring candy to share with their classmates! However, all candy must be individually wrapped, and students must bring enough for their entire homeroom class (approximately 25–30 students).

Thank you for helping us keep Halloween fun, safe, and enjoyable for all our Patriots! 🎃

Dear M.O.S.T.A. Families,

This is a friendly reminder that all students are required to carry a clear bookbag while at school. hank you to the families who have already taken care of this requirement. Your support helps us keep our building safe and our mornings running smoothly.

Thanks to a generous donation from Chicago Bears Defensive Lineman Daniel Hardy, on behalf of the W.G. Hardy Jr. Foundation, we have a limited number of clear bookbags available for students in need. The foundation was established in honor of Daniel's father, Pastor Wilbert Gail (W.G.) Hardy Jr. We are grateful for their commitment to our students and community.

To request a clear bookbag or share a concern, please call the main office at 708-668-9600 or email Mr. Lee at tlee@sd163.com.

Thank you for your partnership.
