⏰Also Planning Ahead

Don't forget that Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 1, at 2:00 a.m.

When the clock reaches 2:00 a.m., it will "fall back" one hour to 1:00 a.m.

Before you go to bed on Saturday, October 31, remember to set any manual clocks back one hour.

Hope you can enjoy the extra hour of sleep! 🍂⏰🍁

image is a graphic announcing the end of Daylight Saving Time. The background features colorful autumn leaves in shades of orange, red, and yellow, with small pumpkins along the bottom edge. Large text at the top reads “FALL BACK.” Below it, the graphic states “November 1, 2026” and “2:00 AM → 1:00 AM.” A banner across the bottom reads “Daylight Saving Time Ends.” On the right side is a large analog clock showing the time approaching 2:00, with a curved red arrow indicating the clock should be turned back one hour.

Día de los Mu***os, or Day of the Dead, is also observed this weekend, beginning on November 1.

This traditional Mexican celebration is a time for families and communities to remember and honor loved ones who have died. Many people create colorful displays, share favorite foods, tell stories, and celebrate the lives and memories of those they miss.

Día de los Mu***os is celebrated each year on November 1 and 2. While the traditions and activities may vary from family to family, the holiday focuses on remembrance, love, and honoring connections across generations.

Interested in learning more? Use your preferred search engine to find information about Día de los Mu***os, including resources from the History Channel and other educational organizations.

Learning about different traditions helps us better understand and appreciate the diverse cultures and experiences that make our communities stronger.

image shows a halloween-themed graphic featuring the text “BOO TO YOU” at the top. Below the text are nine cute cartoon ghosts arranged in a three-by-three grid, each shown in a different pose and expression. One ghost is holding an orange jack-o’-lantern bucket, and another is holding a sign that says “BOO!”. Beneath the ghosts, the graphic reads “FROM OUR CREW” followed by the message “Have a Safe & Happy Halloween!” At the bottom, the graphic is signed “From all of us at LIFE CIL”.

🎃 Halloween Is for Everyone 🎃

As you're handing out treats this Halloween, please remember that not every child experiences or enjoys Halloween in the same way.

🍬 Not every child will say "Trick-or-Treat" or "Thank you."

🍬 Not all children will make eye contact.

🍬 Some children may not wear a costume.

🍬 Not all children can carry their own treat bag or bucket.

🍬 Some trick-or-treaters may appear older than you expect.

🍬 Flashing lights, strobe effects, loud noises, and heavy fog machines can be overwhelming or frightening for some children.

🍬 Consider offering non-food treats for children with food allergies or dietary restrictions.

🍬 Some trick-or-treaters may need extra time, patience, space, or support.

🍬 Some children may use communication devices or have a family member, friend, or caregiver assisting them.

Most importantly, if someone trick-or-treating doesn't fit your expectations, choose kindness. No questions. No judgment.

Halloween is for everyone. Let's help make it safe, welcoming, and inclusive for everyone, including people with disabilities, people of all ages, and people from all walks of life. 🎃🧡👻

🎃 Halloween Safety Starts at Home! 🎃

If you plan to welcome trick-or-treaters to your home this Halloween, here are a few simple ways to help keep everyone safe:

👻 Remove toys, decorations, cords, and other obstacles from walkways leading to your door.

👻 Sweep leaves, dirt, and debris from steps and sidewalks so they can be seen clearly.

👻 Check that your outdoor lights are working. Turn them on if you plan to welcome trick-or-treaters.

👻 Keep pets in a safe, secure area where they won't be stressed by visitors or accidentally get outside.

👻 Consider using battery-operated candles in pumpkins and decorations instead of real candles to reduce the risk of fire.

Let's work together to make Halloween safe, fun, and enjoyable for everyone in our community! 🎃🍬👻
