Our Candy Monsters are HUNGRY! 👀🍬

Help us fill their tummies with candy donations for our Trunk or Treat on 10/30! 🎃🚗

👹 Harry the Candy Monster is waiting in the front entry of the school
👹 His friend Harriet will be at parent pickup during dismissal

Any prepackaged candy is graciously accepted! 🍭 Because of allergies, we ask that students not bring candy on the bus. Parents, please drop it off whenever it's convenient for you. 💜

Thank you for helping make Trunk or Treat sweet for everyone! 🧡💚
