Our Candy Monster is HUNGRY, Westar families — and he’s ready to trade candy for FALL FEST TICKETS!

Bring 50 pieces of candy and get 5 Fall Fest tickets! Keep feeding him and keep earning those tickets!

Drop off your candy Monday–Thursday from 7:10–7:30 AM in front of the office. Your tickets will be given to you right when you donate, so hang onto them for Fall Fest!

Please bring individually wrapped, mixed-variety trick-or-treat candy, and no peanut candy, please.

Every bag helps us stock up for an AMAZING Fall Fest on October 29!

Come feed the monster… we have a feeling he’s going to be VERY hungry!
