FINAL UPDATE: Tickets can be picked up TODAY for those who pre-purchased; look for the orange tablecloth across from the cafeteria. Envelopes will also be available TOMORROW during the event itself, for those unable to pick up today. HIPS reps will be there from approximately 2:30 to 3:30. If you are one of the three winning classrooms, please grab your FIVE EXTRA TICKETS to celebrate your win (and thank your family members for volunteering!) Today's winners ARE:
1- Tsao (19)
2- Guillen (16)
3- Unze (15)
UPDATE #2: Now IN THE LEAD, and eligible to win five tickets for Fall Festival activities, we have:
1- Escalante (15)
2- Tsao (14)
3- Luong (13)
RIGHT BEHIND ARE: Anders, Guillen, Unze & Muller (12)
The volunteer board is in great shape, with only a few positions to fill. We would love more support with face painting, cake walk donations, cleanup, and Tent Or Treat.
What is Tent Or Treat, you may ask? This is the NEW way we are organizing our Trunk-or-Treat zone this year. Moving to tents allows us to set up on the grass and will enable families to access their cars during the event. The idea is generally the SAME, and we love to see all the creative themes every year. The candy is PROVIDED for you, so no need to purchase. Just set up your decor, and our volunteers will do the rest. 
UPDATE #1: We have our current leaderboard for the top three classroom volunteer signups! IN THE LEAD, and eligible to win five tickets for Fall Festival activities, we have:
1- Unze (12)
2- Escalante (11)
3- TIE between Luong & Huston (10)
It's still anyone's game; many classes are close behind with 8 or 9. Stay tuned for an update this weekend and check out all the available positions below! .jpg)
๐บ๐ถ Fall Festival: A Celebration of Family & Fun! ๐ถ๐บ
Get ready, Hacienda families, it’s almost time for one of our most beloved traditions: the Fall Festival! Just like in Coco, where family and community come together to celebrate, this event shines brightest when every family lends a hand. To make this year’s festival a huge success, we need EVERY FAMILY TO VOLUNTEER. Please sign up for at least one shift, and if you’re able, consider donating candy, drinks, or baked goods to keep the fiesta going!
๐ Classroom Participation Contest!
The top 3 classrooms with the highest family volunteer participation will win a special prize! Let’s see which classes will rise to the occasion. If you’d like to contribute more than once (for example, one person baking three cakes or one person volunteering with a spouse), please leave us a note, and we’ll adjust the signup accordingly to ensure your generosity is recognized.
๐ฌ Candy & Baked Goods Drop-Off
Candy may be dropped off in the front office anytime the week before the event or between 2–4 p.m. on Saturday, October 25. To ensure freshness, baked goods/cakes should be delivered on Friday between 2–3 p.m. or during setup on Saturday between 2–5 p.m.
