This Week @ Journey November 2-6, 2015

Reflex Math – not sure what your child’s password is for practice at home? Call our office and we will give you that information.

 Our Halloween Dance was a huge success and thank you to all the parent and staff volunteers who helped make it run smoothly. There were some amazing costumes and judges struggled to come up with only one winner for each category so there are a few ties!

• Best make-up – Noah H. (zombie)
• Most scary – Christian Z. (mean pig)
• Most funny – Weston W. (baby something)
• Most creative – Paige S. (rainbow)
• Most realistic – Cole (nerd); Clarke M. and Olivia C. (anime characters)
• Cutest – Reilly R. (care bear); Madison T. (magic pony)
• Most traditional – Gemini R. (Egyptian); Shaylin S. (Mexican)
• Most original – Maddy F. (jellyfish)
• Best homemade costume – Jordyn C. (cupcake)

Best Jack-o’-lanterns – Emily T. and Amelia B.
