TRUNK OR TREAT at the FUN FAIR NEEDS YOU! Saturday, Oct. 30
Currently there are only 5 vehicles registered to participate in the Trunk or Treat for our school's fun fair on Saturday, October 30th. We realize that this is very different from what we have done in the past but we are hoping that everyone will embrace the change and take advantage of the opportunities this allows them. You will be able to interact with the students of our school, and help bring others to our school and see what we are all about. In order to make this a successful event, we really need more help. Please get involved and even ask grandparents, aunts, uncle's, ect....to come help us put on a successful event and smiles on these children's faces.
Please contact Jenni DeMay at (815) 499-0481 to register your vehicle.
