BooFest Thanks You! 🎃 


A huge thank-you to everyone who joined us for BooFest — and an extra special shoutout to all the amazing volunteers who made it such a fun and memorable event for our kids! It truly takes a village to bring something like this to life — from planning and setup, to running stations, decorating trunks for trunk-or-treat, cleaning up, and donating candy and baked goods. Our little candy monsters are so grateful! 🍬👻

This event wouldn’t have been possible without your time, energy, and generosity.

We’d love your feedback to help make next year’s BooFest even better!
And as always, BooFest is made possible through donations to the Burr PTO. If you’re able, please consider contributing — every bit helps!
