Benny Bengal's News Brief

Our Fall Carnival was a perfect evening. We loved seeing all the kids and families having so much fun! We raised nearly $1,500 at the carnival, and our online auction is in full swing. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year so keep those bids coming! We've extended the bidding to Sunday, November 5. Click here to check out our incredible auction items!

We have two more ways you can help PTA this week:

1. 🎃🍭 Bring a bag of nut-free candy to school this week, and then come fill your treat bags at our Trunk Or Treat this Friday, 5:00-7:00 p.m.
2. 💪 Help us WIN! We challenged Hunt Elementary to a membership contest. Please join PTA TODAY to secure our victory.

It's a busy time of year - more events and important info below!

Thanks,

Sylvia Roy
