🎃 It’s That Spooktacular Time of Year Again! 👻
When everything turns a little creepy, a little spooky, and a whole lot of fun!
Here at Boyle Family Resource Centre, we know how much kids love dressing up for Halloween — and how quickly they can outgrow their costumes.

That’s why we’re thrilled to bring back our Halloween Costume Swap!

Pick Up: Pop in on Wednesday 21st or Thursday 22nd October between 2:00pm – 4:30pm to pick out some fang-tastic new costumes for this year’s spooky celebrations!

It’s a fun, eco-friendly way to share the Halloween spirit — and make sure every child can enjoy the magic of dressing up.
🕸️ Bring your old costumes, swap for something new, and let’s make this Halloween spooktacular for everyone! 🎃
