A huge, heartfelt thank you to our amazing PTA, staff, and parent volunteers who brought our Trunk or Treat to life! The turnout was incredible, and the creative trunks and fun games—including the crowd-favorite claw machine—kept our students smiling all night long. Thank you for making this event such a legendary memory for our school community! |
