—– STILL IN NEED OF 10 TRUNKS!! LET US KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP! —–
Help give students at our partner school a sweet time at the end of this month! Ramos Elementary’s 5th Annual Trunk or Treat is on October 24; and you can be part of it by decorating your trunk or by donating candy! This event had over 1,000 participants last year, so donations of candy and trunks are much needed.
A single collection of candy donations is being undertaken for both this event and Asbury’s Fall Festival, which will also feature a Trunk or Treat. Snack-sized candy bars will be collected in marked bins at Asbury from October 1 through October 20.
For those decorating a trunk for the event, setup at Ramos begins at 3:45 PM and the event runs from 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM.
If you’re willing to participate at the event by decorating your trunk,
