GRACE TAPIA

Dear Families and Friends,Time is flying by and it soon

will be Halloween! Since we arestill in the midst of a pandemic,Halloween will be celebrated a bitdifferently this year at CrescentOaks.

Unfortunately, we will not beable to have the kiddies come overto parade their costumes for ourresidents. However, we will stillhave the staff and residents dress

up, have our annual costume and pumpkin decoratingcontest and, of course, a party with a bunch of goodies for allto enjoy. If you would like to drop off a costume for yourloved one to wear, please do so early this month. We will betaking pictures and share them with you via our Facebookand Instagram pages.

We also want to encourage everyone to safely enjoyHalloween. Some ideas are to maximize your housedecorations, host a Zoom costume party, buy glow in thedark eggs or reuse your old Easter eggs and decorate themwith glow in the dark markers or stickers, add candy andhide them inside the house or in the yard, and take a drivearound your neighborhood to see how others have decoratedtheir houses.

Happy Halloween!Grace
