🚗🎃 Trunk or Treat is almost here, and we need YOUR help to make it a spooktacular success!
🍬👻Our annual Trunk or Treat for Barry and Pathfinder Elementary families is coming up on Thursday, October 22nd from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM! With around 750 students expected to attend, this event relies entirely on our amazing community to keep the fun and treats going.
Here are two ways you can pitch in by Friday, October 16th:
1. Host a TrunkSign up to park, decorate your car trunk (optional!), and pass out goodies in the parking lot. Families, local business sponsors, and community groups are all welcome!
2. Donate TreatsIf you cannot host a trunk, you can donate store-bought, peanut-free treats or non-edible items like pencils, erasers, and rings. Drop donations off at your school office labeled "Trunk or Treat" by October 16th.
Bonus: The grade level that donates the most treats wins an extra recess!
How to Sign Up:
Scan the QR code on the flyer or return your sign-up form to the school office by Friday, October 16th. Let's make this a safe, sweet, and unforgettable night for our kids!
