As we prepare for a series of exciting campus traditions, we are reaching out to request your support to help make Spirit Week, Blue & White Weekend, and our campus-wide Trick-or-Treating on Halloween a success! These events are key to fostering school spirit and creating memorable experiences for our students.

We are in need of volunteers for various activities during Spirit Week and Blue & White Weekend. Additionally, on Halloween, we invite faculty and staff to participate in campus-wide trick-or-treating by giving out candy to students throughout the day. Your involvement will play a significant role in boosting school pride and enthusiasm.

Volunteer Opportunities:

1. Spirit Week & Blue & White Weekend
2. Campus-Wide Trick-or-Treating on Halloween
