🎃🍬 HELP US FILL THE PUMPKIN! 🍬🎃

Our pumpkin is hungry, and we need YOUR help filling it with candy for Riverside’s annual Trunk or Treat! 👻🍫

We are asking our amazing Riverside families to help us stock up on sweet treats for our teachers to hand out during this fun-filled event!

🍭 How can you donate?

🎃 Car Rider Line: Drop your candy donations in our pumpkin box during morning drop-off or afternoon pickup!

🍬 Send It with Your Chief: Students can bring candy to their classroom teacher, who will make sure it gets delivered to our hungry pumpkin!

Every bag of candy helps make this event extra special for our students! 🧡

💙💛 Thank you, Riverside families, for always showing up and supporting our Chiefs! We couldn’t do it without you!

Lead Like a Chief, Love Like a Family! 💙💛
