HALLOWEEN SWAP & SCARE COSTUME EXCHANGE
Here’s how Ripponlea creates spooky YET sustainable Halloween Vibes.
Not to put too much of a much of a dampener on the spirit of Halloween BUT here is a scary truth worth knowing!!!
Most Halloween costumes are made from non-recyclable materials like polyester, nylon, and acrylic. Many end up in landfill.
With this horrifying fact in your skull say BOO to NEW costumes straight off the Halloween bat 🦇.
Consider a second hand or reused costume FIRST.
To help support sustainable Halloween practices Ripponlea is AGAIN holding a
SWAP & SCARE COSTUME EXCHANGE on MONDAY 26TH OCTOBER
HOW IT WORKS:
🎃Bring a costume to school next week
🎃We will note your child's name and class. On exchange day your child will receive a token to choose a new scary feels costume.
Drop off Costume Dates: 🎃Next week to the office 🎃
Last day to drop off costumes is Thursday 22nd October .
Also if you have a Clothes rack/rail we could loan please contact Lee in the Office ASAP.
NOTES FOR PARENTS ON COSTUMES:
- Costume must be washed and in good ready to scare order.
- Costume must be on a hangar - labelled if you want hangar returned or will be donated to school uniform shop.
- Accessories attached securely to the costume.
Costume must be clearly labelled with size detail.
If you do not have a costume to swap - A gold coin on the day is OK but this will be only if there are costumes left after EXCHANGE.
So move on last years vibe, too small or unused costumes .
Reduce landfill, get new costume feels
Join in the Eerily Eco-friendly fun !!!
