🖤If this is your first time hearing whispers of Boo Fest and you’re curious about all the magic behind it, or if you’re a seasoned Boo Fest pro with 🧛‍♀️fang-tastic ideas to share, we’d love to have you join us.🧡

🕰️Come creep on over to the Boo Fest Committee meeting this Friday after drop-off in the MPR as we conjure up the biggest and best night at Valley Vista — BOO FEST.🪄

🔎We’re also on the hunt for raffle prize donations as we prepare for this spook-tacular event. 👀

🫶🏼While Boo Fest is one of the most boo-tiful nights of the year, it’s all for the very best reason of all — our teachers.

👻The more help, creativity, volunteers, and donations we gather, the more support we can send straight back to our classrooms.👏👏👏

🦄Join us and help make the magic happen!🔮
