🎃🚗 WE NEED YOUR TRUNKS! 👻🍬

Explorers PTO is still on the hunt for Trunk-or-Treat volunteers! We have a goal of 25 decorated trunks, and we’re not quite there yet!

🍭 We provide the candy, YOU provide the trunk! That’s right, we’ll take care of the treats! All you need to do is decorate your trunk and help make this a fun night for our students and families!

📅 Friday, October 23
⏰ Event: 6:00–7:30 PM
🚗 Trunk Setup: Begins at 5:00 PM
📍 School Parking Lot

👻 Want to volunteer? Email us at [email protected] to sign up!

Let’s come together and make this a SPOOKTACULAR night for our Explorers! 🧡💜

Help us reach our goal of 25 trunks! Even if you can’t volunteer, sharing this post helps spread the word! 🎃🍬
