Thank You Trunk or Treat Volunteers!

11/1/2026 10:56 am

Our first-ever Trunk or Treat was a huge success!

From amazingly decorated trunks to fun, spooky activities and, of course, plenty of candy, there was something for everyone.

The excitement on the kids’ faces said it all – they had an absolute blast!

A special shout-out goes to Erin Marshall, Alicia Bourne and Jen Degrace, who came up with the idea, pitched it to the PTSA board, and then rolled up their sleeves to make it happen – all in just a few short weeks! 

A big thank-you also to our PTSA team, who jumped in to help turn this into reality, as well as the Mark Twain staff for supporting the idea and to everyone who decorated a trunk, or helped in any other way. Every single contribution helped make this event so special.

This is exactly what makes our Mark Twain community so wonderful. When people come together, share ideas, and pitch in, amazing things can happen!
