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 !!!
