🎃👻 It’s Trunk or Treat Time! 👻🎃

Our annual Bennington Elementary Trunk or Treat is coming up on October 30th, and we need your help to make it a SPOOKTACULAR event! 🕸️🍬

We’re looking for volunteers to decorate a trunk and represent their child’s classroom!
No need to be a decorating pro! A little creativity, some Halloween spirit, and a trunk are all you need! 🚗🍬
