Week of Oct 20, 2025
It's Time for Fall Festival
Parents, Teachers, and Students,
There are 5 days until our community Trunk or Treat and Haunted House events starting at 4:30 pm and 6:00 pm in the Bluffton High School parking lot. Our clubs work so hard to put these fun experiences together but we can't do it alone. If students bring in a total of 300 bags of candy they will earn a dress down day. The staff are also bringing in candy to bridge the gap so we have enough to meet our expected attendance numbers.
Additional clubs, local businesses, and community members who would like to sponsor “trunks” for the Trunk or Treat event have two options:
Option 1- Trunk sponsors can decorate their vehicle’s trunk and hand out goodies themselves.
Option 2- SPONSOR A TRUNK by donating $100 worth of candy. A special trunk will be designed by our students and will display your business logo or name as the sponsoring trunk!
Please reach out to Ms. Phillips for questions at jessica.phillips@beaufort.k12.sc.us and sign up with this link.
This week you can expect:
School Bus Safety Week October 20-24.
PTO Meeting in Room 1120 October 21.
SAT October 22.
USCB College Fair October 23.
Trunk or Treat / Haunted House October 25.

To ensure a safe and secure environment at BCSD athletic events, all spectators and athletes entering our venues will be asked to remove hoods or face coverings that obscure one’s identity, such as balaclava-style masks. This practice, which is common at collegiate athletic events, will help us maintain safety by ensuring individuals can be easily identified if needed.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in creating a safe and welcoming atmosphere for everyone. Please reach out to District Athletic Director Dr. Carlos Cave for any questions.
Celebrate With Us!
