👻 BOO! What a spook-tacular day at Charles Lea! 🎃

Halloween fun was in full swing as our amazing staff transformed the CLC halls into a trick-or-treat adventure, setting up candy stations throughout campus and many getting into the spirit with creative costumes of their own! 🍫🦇🍬

The celebration continued at our Fall Festival, where we had a talented balloon artist, festive activities, delicious treats, and plenty of laughter and fun. From superheroes to storybook characters and everything in between, the smiles made the day truly unforgettable. 🎈🍁✨

A special thank you to our incredible staff, volunteers, and supporters who helped make this event such a success. Your enthusiasm and dedication created the best day! 💚

📸 Take a look at some of our favorite moments from this BOO-tiful celebration! 👏🎉
