Trick-or-treat safely this Halloween!
The Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office offers these tips for a fun and safe night.
Trick-or-treat in groups, and have young children walk with an adult
Carry a flashlight or glow stick, and wear reflective or light-colored costumes
Use sidewalks, cross at corners, and look both ways
Check all candy before eating it
Visit only well-lit homes, and never go inside a stranger’s house
Drivers, slow down and stay alert, because little ones will be out in the dark
Have a safe and spooky Halloween, Goddard!

October Character Trait: RESPONSIBILITY 🐾
This month at Apollo Elementary, we are focusing on Responsibility! Being responsible means making good choices, following through on our commitments, taking care of our belongings and our school, and being someone others can count on.
We are encouraging our Panthers to take ownership of their actions, help others, and always do their best—even when no one is watching. 💙
Kudos to this group of Student Leaders of the Week!

🌟 Student Shout-Out! 🌟
A big shout-out to these four amazing 4th grade students for showing us what it means to take initiative!
What started as an unprompted effort by Christian to help sweep and clean up the cafeteria after lunch has now inspired others to join in. These students saw something that needed to be done and simply stepped up to help—no prompting, no asking, just great character and teamwork.
We are so proud of the way they are taking ownership of their school and setting an example for others. Small acts of kindness and responsibility can make a BIG difference!
Way to go, Panthers! 🐾💙👏
