So many great Family Costumes! Thank you to everyone who participated! ...
Butler Costume Parade 2026 ...
Update: Shack Spooktakular is still on and moved in doors to Gym A!Bronco Families,
We are getting ready for a spooktacular Friday full of fun events! To make sure everyone has a hauntingly good time, we wanted to clear up a few costume details with some Halloween-themed dos and don'ts!
🎨 Face Paint:
Allowed: A little fun touch of face paint or costume makeup!
Reality Check: Let’s be real, there's no way full-face makeup is staying on a 7-year-old’s face past morning recess. Keep it light so it doesn't turn into a scary masterpiece halfway through the day!
🎈 Inflatable Costumes:
Oh, how times have changed! Parents, the days are officially over of using old microwave and refrigerator boxes to build Halloween costumes. All you need now is a tiny battery-operated fan and a tightly sewn suit, and suddenly you’ve got a chicken riding a cow strolling down the hallway! 🐔🐮
We've gotten a lot of questions about these awesome blow-up outfits, so here is the game plan for Friday:
YES: Students CAN wear their inflatable costumes as they enter school on Friday morning!
YES: They CAN put them back on to groove at the Monster Mash!
NO: They CANNOT wear them all day long. During the regular school day, students will be asked to take off their inflatable costumes (and turn off those fans!), unless granted special permission by their teacher, so make sure they've got appropriate attire on under their costumes
🚫 Important Costume Safety Rules:
To keep things safe and fun for all of our elementary students, please remember:
No Masks: Full-face masks or costume masks are not permitted.
No Pretend Weapons: No swords, guns, axes, or play weapons of any kind are allowed on campus.
No Scary Costumes: Keep costumes fun, friendly, and elementary-appropriate; nothing too gory or terrifying for our younger Broncos!
🎉 Monster Mash Details & RSVP:
Check out the attached Monster Mash flyer for all the event details! Please make sure to submit your RSVP in advance using the link below:

📸 Photo & Video Reminder:
We love capturing these special memories! If you are taking photos or videos during Friday's festivities, please ensure they are strictly of your own Bronco to respect the privacy of all our students and families.
🎃 Community Events:
Shackelford Junior High is hosting its 2nd Annual Shack Spooktacular Trunk or Treat tonight from 6-7 PM! Head over for a safe, fun-filled evening of trick-or-treating with our local community.
Butler Dads’ Club Family Costume Contest: Show off your family spirit! Join us tomorrow morning for the annual Dads’ Club Family Costume Contest at 7:45.
We can't wait to see all the creative, silly, and spooky costumes on Friday!
Thank you for being so supportive in making this a fun and safe day for ALL of our Broncos!
