WHO: All SMS students, Montessori - Grade 8, and immediate family members are invited.
WHAT: Dress up in your Halloween costumes and join us for trunk-or-treating in the school parking lot!

If you are decorating a trunk you may arrive at 5:30 pm to set up.
WHERE: SMS parking lot in front of Parish Center/Cafeteria entrances. If you are not decorating a trunk, please park in an alternate lot to ensure there is enough space for students to Trunk or Treat safely.
