Hello Superstar Families!

We are getting EXCITED for our 3rd annual Trunk or Treat Celebration presented by the Arlington PTA!!

The amount of donations and volunteer sign ups have been OUTSTANDING and the PTA is so appreciative of all of the participation we have received from our families so far, truly THANK YOU!

As a reminder, ALL STUDENTS WILL BE INCLUDED as this is all voluntary and not mandatory.

A few more details I want to go through:

• If you are a TRUNK Volunteer or plan to be a TRUNK volunteer, please be sure to be on campus starting at 7:30 am - ALL vehicles MUST be on campus BY 8:20 am - NO EXCEPTIONS
• Class Volunteers are needed to help decorate the trunks at set-up, help with the game/activity at the trunks, assist with keep students in the designated Trunk or Treat area and with clean up at the end of the event
• The parade will start at 8:50 am and ALL volunteers should be done with set up and able to watch the parade until it concludes at about 9:10 am
• We will distribute ALL treats to the trunks the morning of the celebration, but if you have a game or activity that needs treats for prep (like a punch cup game) please reach out to Rebekah DeBenedictis so she can get those to you beforehand
• Each class should be helping with donations for the trunk decorations as needed, Lead Room Parent's please reach out to your Trunk volunteers to see if they need anything for decorations or the game/activity
