What is a Trunk-or-Treat?

 

It's when Academy families get together in 

the church parking lot, park their cars, open up the trunks of their cars, 

and children come around to each car to Trunk-or-Treat!!! 

To really get into the spirit~ Academy parents can open their trunks to reveal 

Halloween-themed decorations. Children can walk from trunk to trunk 

to look at the decorations and receive candy and treats such as Halloween 

Stickers, Pencils, Erasers, Apple Slices, Small Oranges, Popcorn and the like!!!

 

REMEMBER! NO PEANUTS ALLOWED!

1. Trunk Decorating Contest: an optional activity for those who would like to decorate the trunk of their vehicle for the Trunk-or-Treat! 

 2. Any parent may participate: just let your class parent know in advance! 

3. Prizes will also be awarded for the best parent and /or pet costumes!!! (Yes, pets are invited!)
