About the event
What is Trunk or Treat? Participants bring their Halloween decorated cars to a central location - in this case, our school parking lot. Kids walk from vehicle to vehicle, collecting candy the way they would during a normal trick-or-treating outing. We need at least 10 cars to hand out candy in order to hold this event. Please sign up here:
