Ghoul-friends, it’s time to rise from the crypt and get ready for a fang-tastic time! Thanks to your amazing fundraising efforts last year and those of you who have already joined the PTA, we are able to make this a free event this year, including providing all of the candy for the kids!
Want to Help? This spooktacular event is hosted by the BMES PTA, but we need some wicked volunteers to make the magic happen! If you’re up for lending a hand (or claw), click below to sign up!
Decorate Your Car! What’s a Trunk or Treat without boo-tiful car decorations? If you’re ready to brew up a spooky scene with your trunk, let us know by clicking below!
Just Want to Attend? Creeping in for some fun? Register below so our coordinators can plan for all the little goblins and ghouls!
We can’t wait to see all you monsters there!
