My Project

Each year, our school celebrates this fun season with a Fall Festival. We always include games, fall activities, and trunk or treating. It's an exciting time of year and it provides our families with an opportunity to participate in a healthy and safe event. Our whole staff works together to put on the stations and find community partners to participate in trunk or treat.

The non-candy items in this project help to make sure that even the kids with allergies can take part in the trunk or treating fun!

The community really comes together at our Fall Festival Trunk or Treating, which brings joy and excitement to all that attend! We look forward to this event every year. We cannot wait to have an amazing time with our families and students this year!
