This Halloween, enjoy some spooky fun with your Hazel Wolf neighbors!

Published on October 9, 2023 by hwk8mc4 Comments

Do you go all out for Halloween?
Is your home a top trick or treat destination in your neighborhood?
Are you excited to have your school neighbors come trick or treating at your house?

If you answered an enthusiastic “Yes!” to any of the above, we’d LOVE to include you in our first ever Hazel Wolf Trick or Treat Adventure!

Now through Wednesday, October 18th, we’re registering any and all families who are excited to have other Hazel Wolf families visit their home for trick or treating fun.

Once registered, your household will be included in a location guide that we’ll create and share with Hazel Wolf families who are planning to trick or treat on October 31st. A printable sign showing you’re a Hazel Wolf family will be provided to all participating households for window display.

If you’re interested in participating in this new PTSA social adventure, please email us by end-of-day Wednesday, October 18th, and we’ll be in touch with additional information.

A variety of children's coats lined up in three rows.
