We estimate that we had around 600+ attendees. We partnered with a feeder school to add a huge trunk-or-treat section, drawing a lot more participation. Other highlights include several interactive inflatable games, even more STEAM stations, the return of the Panther Closet, which offered free clothing and hygiene items to the community, a local credit union, our county's parks and recreation department, and so much more. Your generosity provided so many fun prizes that were great alternatives to candy, and we also had more decorations this year that made the event more cohesive and visually engaging. We had a balloon arch, an entire hallway lined with floating witch hats, and window clings of spooky skeletons that all added to the experience for our community.","fullyFundedDate":1760446591190,"projectUrl":"project/hallosteam/9574279/","projectTitle":"HalloSTEAM","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McMillan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3622478_orig.jpg?crop=1436,1436,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1679673443155","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/hermlib"},{"teacherId":3622478,"projectId":9601801,"letterContent":"Our book club students are so incredibly grateful for your support of their growth and learning.
