Good Morning MES Families,
It's Halloween week, and we have a lot of treats in store for our Husky Pups! MESPTO has teamed up with VFit to put on a fun and wild costume KidFit zoom party this Friday at 2:30pm! This a 30 minute LIVE party that will get your kids moving, dancing and having a blast, and it's a great chance to show off this year's costumes to all of their friends and classmates. This is a private event that is FREE for all MES families. A HUGE thank you to Rachele Jaegers, owner of VFit, for donating her time and energy to help add some extra fun to our students' Halloween this year. Click here for more details and zoom link

And what Halloween is complete without a little trick or treating? This year, between 12:00-2:00 on Halloween (Saturday, October 31st), you can drive through the high school parking lot for our first ever drive-thru Halloween trick or treating event! Everyone in the car MUST be wearing a mask (and not just the Halloween kind). This took a lot of careful planning and revisions to make sure it was a safe event for all, so make sure to thank your school's ASB, and a special shout out to our own MES teacher, Leigh Ann Turner, for taking the lead on the elementary school's part in this event!

***CANDY DONATIONS NEEDED***
Trick or treating only works if there are treats to pass out. This is an all district event, so that means lots of students will be driving through for candy. The school district is asking that each school has 6000 pieces of candy on hand to make sure there is enough to go around. Please drop a few bags of candy into our donation bin at the front of Vons this week to help ensure this event is a huge success!

I hope you have a spooktacular Halloween this year!

PTO President
