The HSA is hosting Trunk or Treat on Saturday, October 26 from 2:00-3:00 pm at the school. It will be a fun afternoon of trunk or treating, contests, face painting and costumes! Please see this flyer for details and to sign up. This year there are 3 ways to participate; your family can decorate your trunk, decorate a table, or come without decorating. Just remember…the more families that decorate, the more fun the event will be! Below are some of the “trunks” from past years for inspiration. More pictures can be viewed HERE. We hope to see you there!
As a reminder, our Fall Into Reading contest for Grades K-5 ends this coming Monday, October 21st. Please make sure you have signed all your child/ren’s leaves and sent them in for Monday.
