Next Friday, Oct. 20 will be Fall Fast! The PTO has moved Spring Fling to the fall, and we've combined the big carnival event with Trunk or Treat. This year, Trunk or Treat will be inside. Teams of teachers will be set up around the school building from 5:00-6:00. Fall Fest runs from 5:00-8:00. We'd be grateful for candy donations! Please send candy donations to your child's teacher, or to the front office. Thank you in advance!
