When we setup our very first Trunk or Treat last year at Monterey Elementary, I don't think we truly had any idea how important and special it would be for our families. Parents have already been expressing how happy and appreciative they are to have a safe neighborhood Halloween activity for their families to participate in. Some of our students are refugees and have never experienced Halloween before. Many of our students told us that it was their best Halloween EVER.... but we only had about 6 cars.
That's where we were hoping you would come in. Our teachers are SUPER fun- and we would love it if you would join us in decorating your car/trunk and help make this Halloween even more special for our students and neighborhood! There are lots of family friendly ideas on Pinterest! Yard games are welcome. (Alcohol and cigarettes are not). Candy is ALWAYS welcome. We will provide some bags, as well, but it would be great to have a wonderful variety.
Please help us make Monterey's Trunk or Treat the best yet!
