🎃🍬 Candy Challenge Champions! 🍬🎃
Our Trunk or Treat Candy Challenge was a sweet success! Each class competed to donate the most pounds of candy — and it was a close race until the very end! 🍭 In the end, Ms. French’s class pulled ahead and took the win! Their victory earned them the honor of choosing our STEM teacher, Mr. Garcia’s new hair color… and let’s just say blue never looked so good! 💙
Huge thanks to everyone who donated and made this year’s Trunk or Treat extra fun and festive! 👻✨
