DeSales Trunk or Treat
Our DeSales Trunk or Treat Event is scheduled for Friday, October 21st from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. This 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.
We would like to make our 2022 Trunk or Treat event a great success, but that cannot happen without parent and student support. Most importantly, we need a head (trunk) count. Please return the registration form to school as soon as possible. The deadline for trunk registration is Monday, October 17th, 2022.
