We’re getting ready for one of our favorite fall events — Trunk-or-Treat!
Friday, October 23, 2026
6:00–8:00 PM
Before we can officially bring all the fun together, we need your help! Trunk-or-Treat is a large event, and it takes many volunteers working together to make it possible. We are currently recruiting volunteers to help throughout the evening with:
Event setup — decorations, tables & stations
Candy runners
Tattoo station
Parking lot & trunk assistance
Food service
Event cleanup
…and more!
As a thank you for giving your time to help make Trunk-or-Treat possible, each volunteer will receive TWO event wristbands and FOUR food tickets for their volunteer time!
Why are we asking for volunteers so early?
We need to know that we have enough help to safely and successfully host the event before we move forward with all of our plans.
Without enough volunteers, we will have to significantly reduce the activities and services we are able to offer at Trunk-or-Treat. If we are unable to secure the minimum number of volunteers needed to operate the event, Trunk-or-Treat may need to be canceled altogether.
We absolutely don’t want that to happen — but an event of this size simply cannot be run by a handful of people. Whether you can help with setup, work a station during part of the event, or stay afterward to help clean up, every volunteer makes a difference. You do not need to volunteer for the entire evening to help make Trunk-or-Treat possible.
If your family is planning to attend, please consider volunteering for a shift and helping us make this event happen for our students and families!
Our kindness journey begins Friday, September 25! This year, our Wildcats are taking kindness around the world as we kick off our biggest fundraiser of the year with Raise Craze!
Rather than focusing only on fundraising, Raise Craze encourages students to pay it forward by completing Acts of Kindness (AOKs) for others. Throughout our fundraiser, students will have lots of opportunities to spread kindness at home, at school, and throughout our community — and we have some pretty awesome ways to celebrate their efforts along the way!
There will be SO much happening!
Individual prizes students can earn
Traveling classroom trophies for Most Registered Students, Highest Earning Class & Most Acts of Kindness
Grade-level challenges and prizes
Prizes for our top fundraiser in each grade level.
Classroom rewards and teacher supply reimbursements
Special school-wide challenges and incentives — including opportunities to SLIME our Admin Team and even send them to the "CAR WASH"!
A special Classroom Kindness Passport Challenge, where classes can work together to complete Acts of Kindness for a chance to win a pizza party, movie party, or ice cream party! And that’s just the beginning!
Our goal isn't only to raise money for our school — it's to see just how much KINDNESS our Wildcats can spread along the way.
What is Raise Craze?
Raise Craze is an online fundraising platform where students create a secure, custom fundraising page and invite friends and family to support our school through email, text, and social media. During the fundraiser, students pay it forward by completing and logging Acts of Kindness for others.
Registration information will be coming home with students on Friday, September 25!
Get ready, Wildcats — we're about to see just how far our kindness can travel!
Kona Ice isn’t just a dessert—it’s an experience.
Please stop by the Quad for a delicious cold treat! Thank you, Antelope Meadows PTA!
Please email us at pta.antelopemeadows@gmail.com if you can help.
