🎃 Parents, this is your chance to finally put all those random bins of fall decorations to work.

We need volunteers for **Trunk or Treat**! Decorate your trunk, bring some candy, and prepare to hear “Trick or Treat!” approximately 847 times in one evening. 😂

Your theme can be cute, spooky, Pinterest-worthy, or “I bought this at 5:17 PM on the way here.” We support all levels of effort.

🚗 Sign up to host a trunk:

Come for the kids. Stay because you already opened the giant bag of candy anyway. 🍬👻

October 30th from 5:00-7:00. We recommend arriving around 4:00 so you have plenty of time to set up! We are only accepting 15 vehicles at this time. First come, first selected. We will have a running list of alternates. Thank you!

📸 Picture Day is September 28th!

Parents, you already know how this goes. We pick the perfect outfit, fix every hair, and practice the sweetest smile…then our child gives the camera a face we have never seen before. 😂

Which Picture Day child do you have?

A. The natural model
B. The forced-smile champion
C. The “I forgot it was Picture Day” kid
D. The one who suddenly experiments with a new hairstyle

Hey Aviator Families!!! For the amazing Grandparents Breakfast- remember there are TWO steps everyone must do!
1. Every attendee MUST be pre-registered here

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdabd6WSee45BqLqA9Pyd39Zn-CUC1uTD7Z3IPVkTUovHygIQ/viewform

Step 2: Choose how you pay. Paying ONLINE is not registering. You must complete the above ⬆️ form also. Then you can pay online from there or send payment to the office.

But again- all grandparents MUST be pre-registered using the form above. We just want to make sure check-in is as easy as possible for everyone so these sweet families can enjoy as much time together as possible!

Don’t forget your Grandparents Breakfast tickets! Check the newsletter from Mrs. Vann for more details! Can’t wait to see everyone!

Gilbert, SC 29054

Come grab some ice cream, support our school, and make your half day a little sweeter! 🍨✨
