Botsford Classroom Candy Collection Contest

We’re thrilled to announce that our Annual Harvest Festival is right around the corner—happening on Friday, October 23rd! It’s going to be a fun-filled day for our students, featuring two crowd favorites: the Teacher Trick-or-Treat and Parent Trunk-or-Treat events!

To make the magic happen, our B.E.S.T. Parent Organization is in need of candy donations. These treats will be shared with students and families during the festivities—and we could really use your help!

🍭 “Candy Classroom Collection Contest” 🍭
Starting Monday, October 19th through Friday, October 23rd, students can bring in bags of candy and give them to their classroom teacher. We’ll be weighing the donations by class, and the class that collects the most candy (by weight) will win a special classroom incentive—chosen from a fun menu of rewards!

Let’s work together to make this year’s Harvest Festival the sweetest one yet! Thank you for your continued support and generosity—we can't wait to celebrate with our amazing Botsford community!
