The top 3 trunks that receive the most votes will win a prize. We would love to have between 20-25 decorated vehicles so come join the fun. PTA will supply each vehicle with candy, but please make sure to have a bag or 2 of treats on hand as well.<\/span><\/p>

We will also be looking for candy and treats (pencils, erasers, fun trinkets, etc) donations. We all know how fast these kids trick or treat so we would love to make sure we have plenty of treats on hand. A bin will be placed in the front office starting next week so please feel free to stop by to feed the bin with your donations. If there are families that are able to reach out to grocery stores or any place willing to donate candy to us, we would GREATLY appreciate the help.<\/span><\/p>
