Trunk or Treat - Oct 26

Our 3rd annual Trunk or Treat is next week, but we need your help to pull this off! We are thrilled to celebrate this Halloween tradition with our wonderful neighbors at St. Francis, but might cancel if there is not enough interest.


  1. Decorate Your Trunk: If you're feeling creative, spooky, and want to be a part of the fun, we need families who would like to deck out their trunks and hand out treats to our students and families.

  2. Treat Drive: We want to make sure we have enough treats to distribute to our trick-or-treaters and supplement the treats for families who are decorating a trunk! To help stock all the trunks, we'll be running a treat drive. You can contribute by dropping off treats at the front entrance to the school during school hours. Acceptable items include treasure box-style items, individually wrapped single-serving candy, rice krispie treats, granola bars, fruit snacks, pencils, erasers, pretzels, goldfish, and more.


Here are all the essential details....


  • Date: Saturday, October 26th

  • Time: 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM

  • Location: Telra Parking Lot – 4150 McKee Road

  • Parking: The main Telra parking lot will only be open to cars who have registered as decorating a trunk for the Trunk or Treat. Visitors can park in the Pavilion Lot, McKee Baptist Church lot, St. Francis Church lot, or at McKee Road Park across the road if the gate is open.

  • What to Wear: We encourage everyone to get into the spirit by wearing costumes or fall/Halloween-themed attire, but it's not required. Feel free to get as creative as you like!

  • Who's Invited: This event is for all Telra families, including siblings and friends not attending Telra. The more, the merrier!

  • Food and Refreshments: We've got you covered! This year we will have BBQ and refreshments available for purchase, so please bring cash.


Trunk or Treat promises to be a memorable event, and we can't wait to see you all there! Thank you for helping us make this day a success. Let's make it a spooktacular time!
