PTA Trunk or Treat--A Huge Success!

Thank you everyone who donated candy, decorated a trunk, and supported our Deep Run PTA's Trunk or Treat. It was a big success and we couldn't have done it without you! It was wonderful to see everyone who attended showing off their costumes, playing games, and just being social. It was a bigger turn out then anyone would have expected! If you missed out on decorating a trunk or just trick-or-treating, the PTA will be hosting again next year.
 
Our winners of the Trunk or Treat best decorated trunk are...
1st place goes to spot 15 Karen McVay "the big tree"
2nd place goes to spot 4 Elizabeth Hagen "pirate theme"
3rd place tied with spot 1 Elana Lorenzen "rainbow theme" and spot 27 Megan Vissari "Nightmare Before Christmas"
(prizes can be picked up in the front office of the school)
 
Thank you,
Deep Run PTA
