Floyd News and Notes
Wow! What a spooktacular night for Floyd's Halloween Walk! Thank you Abyl and Emery for all the pumpkins and to Mrs. Mealback and Ms. Clark's classes for carving them. Well done 5th grade (Mr. Wright, Ms. Simons, Mrs. Schroeder) on decorating and setting up the trail. Thanks to staff and former students (We love when you come back to us!) for passing candy out. And families--thank you for the candy donations and for bringing the little goblins tonight. We are so lucky to have such a giving Floyd community! Can't wait to see you in costume tomorrow!
