Halloween may seem even spookier and more mysterious than usual this year. But fun will still be had. I mean, it IS on a Saturday! Whether you visit one of these events or decide on a DIY Halloween night, it is sure to be SPOOKtacular.
We’d like to thank Manzano Day School for sponsoring this Guide to Halloween.
New World. New Way. Same Manzano Day School. Founded in 1938, Manzano Day School is an independent, nonprofit elementary school for children in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. In addition to the core subjects of reading, math, science, and social studies, the six co-curricular subjects of art, library, music, physical education, Spanish, and technology are part of every student’s schedule. Manzano Day School is implementing a reopening strategy that allows the school to remain flexible while responding to the changing situation around COVID-19. They are providing the best educational experience possible while also mitigating risk of exposure or outbreaks of COVID-19 in the community.
