Last Friday, the high school parking lot came alive with Halloween spirit at the annual PTO Fall Fest! The students and families came to enjoy a night full of candy, excitement, and decorated trunks. The parking lot was filled with colorful decorations, and excited kids walked from trunk to trunk, making it an unforgettable night for everyone. As Morgan Rutledge, one of our Riverdale cheerleaders, says, “Trunk or Treat was an amazing experience! It was so nice to see all of the younger kids so excited to see the trunks and costumes.” This event gave all of the students a chance to help create a fun and welcoming experience for the younger kids at each school.

Trunk or Treat was not only about the candy, but also about bringing everyone together and creating lasting memories. The students got to show off their creativity through their costumes and decorated trunks, making the night special for the younger kids who attended. As Tayah Erickson, another one of our Riverdale cheerleaders, says, “Trunk or Treat was such a fun experience! Seeing all of the younger kids’ faces light up as they walked around to see the creative trunks and costumes made the event so special!” Filled with bright smiles, creative costumes, and plenty of sweet treats, this year’s Fall Fest was a great opportunity to kick off the Halloween festivities and build lasting community connections across the district.
