Halloween Activities &
Dress Guidelines 2015
Thursday, October 29th – Special Halloween Theme Dress
On Thursday, Oct. 29, VCMS students may wear Halloween colors. This “special non–uniform
dress” means that at least one of the visible clothing items (tops, pants, jacket) are black, orange,
purple or has a Halloween design (for example, a white shirt with a pumpkin design is
acceptable). Please keep in mind that the spirit of the day is to dress in black and orange.
Clothing need not be 100% black or orange but a strong attempt at making at least half the
clothing in these colors is expected (orange t-shirt with blue jeans, black pants with a yellow top,
etc.).
