GET READY!
SPOOKTACULAR IS THIS FRIDAY!!

We are one week away and are so excited to celebrate with all of your students! For years, Willagillespie students and their families have looked forward to our annual Halloween-themed night, and we are thrilled to bring it back again this year!

We hope it's on your calendars for a fun, family-friendly evening of costumes, treats, and community:

Date: Friday, October 30th
Time: 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM

WE STILL NEED YOUR HELP
to Bring this Spooky Celebration to Life!

Spooktacular is one of our biggest community events, and it runs entirely on parent power. We need your help with three crucial things to make this night a success:
 

1. Sign Up for a Volunteer Shift

We want every family to enjoy the night with their students, which is why all volunteer shifts are broken down into short time slots. Consider helping out for even just one hour!

Some ways you could help:
  • Set up/Decorate
  • Serve Food
  • Provide a Trunk for Trunk or Treat
  • Help with the Monster Mash Dance Party

2. Donate Candy for Trunk-or-Treat

We need hundreds of pounds of candy to ensure every student leaves happy and full of sugar! This is the simplest way to contribute:

  • How to Donate: Drop your bags of individually wrapped candy into the "Candy Monster" donation bin located in the front office anytime between now and October 30th.
  • Our PTO will also be out front of the school to collect candy at drop off.

3. Purchase Desserts for the Treat Trot

The Treat Trot is always a huge hit! We ask families to donate pre-purchased desserts (cakes, cookies, cupcakes, etc) that we can offer as prizes.

  • How to Donate: Please drop your purchased treats off in the office, labeled
    "PTO" between October 28th and October 30th.

 

**For the ease of Parents, you may also donate via the ticket link below for Treat Trot desserts and we'll do the shopping***
