Our event allows for our students to trick or treat in a safe environment from trunk to trunk in the secured DeSales parking lot. This event is free. We only ask that each family provides one bag of candy per participating child.
Most importantly, we need a head (trunk) count. Please return the registration form (linked below) to school as soon as possible. The deadline for trunk registration is Monday, October 16th, 2023.
Volunteers needed: We would like to make our 2023 Trunk or Treat event a great success, but that cannot happen without your help! Please consider signing up using the link below:
