We've heard from some parents that they've never participated in a trunk or treat. So here is a short overview to prepare you for what to expect! If this sounds like fun, sign up to host a trunk (businesses and community groups are also welcome!)
Trunk or Treat is a Halloween event in a parking lot. Cars park in a row with decorated trunks, and kids walk from car to car collecting treats. It’s easy to supervise and easy on little legs, and it works in any weather.
What trunk hosts do:
Decorate your trunk. Pick a theme and keep it as simple or fancy as you like. There may be a decorating contest.
Bring candy. Bring 1-2 large bags of individually wrapped candy. Nut-free candy and non-food items like stickers or pencils are welcome. If you can’t supply your own candy or you run out, the PTA can help so you can still take part.
Arrive early. Set up 30-60 minutes before the event, and no later than 1:45pm.
Stay with your car. The event runs 2-3:30pm.
Costumes are encouraged (but optional).
Follow the safety rules. Keep your car off. Don’t use open flames or real candles. Keep decorations kid-friendly, and don’t leave candy or props unattended.
Prepare for the weather. Last year was windy and rainy, so a canopy tent can help keep your trunk dry. If you bring a canopy, it must be tied down securely.
Family Bingo Night is coming up on Thursday, October 29th!
Doors open at 6pm, games start at 6:30pm.
We'll be handing out 5 free bingo cards for every player! Extra cards and dobbers (dot pens) available for purchase. There will also be pizza and snacks to buy as well!
We hope to see you there! (As a reminder, this is not a drop off event. Adult supervision is required.)
We also need some helpers. You can sign up for setup, running concessions, handing out Bingo cards, selling spiritwear, and of course, cleaning up after the fun. Even if a slot is full, please feel free to still pop over to help - the more people we have, the better it'll go!
Conference Week (November 2nd-6th) can be a stressful for families.
Make lunch or dinner easier and support the PTA at the same time! On Monday, November 2nd we’re eating out at Sodam Chicken to earn money for Echo Lake!
Present this flyer in person or enter promo code “ELEPTA2026” in online orders and Sodam Chicken will donate 20% of all sales!
Enjoy yummy Korean food, support a local small business, AND earn donations for our school!

PTA Project
One of the things the PTA did during the 2025-2026 school year is fund and install our new Put-In-Cups Fence Decorations.
Special thanks to Ellen Ackroyd for organizing this effort.
Why PTA matters…
