Lafayette Trunk or Treat
Lafayette PTO’s annual Trunk or Treat was a huge hit! Families, teachers, the Wayne Fire Department, and the Passaic County Sheriff’s Office all joined in the fun with creative and festive trunks. It was wonderful to see so many imaginative costumes and smiling faces filling the parking lot. A big thank you to our incredible PTO for organizing this popular event, to the families who decorated trunks, and to our dedicated staff for showing up to support our students. What a great night for our school community!

PTO Brings the Pumpkin Patch to PECC
The Preakness Early Childhood Center PTO sponsored a Pumpkin Patch for our young preschoolers on a glorious fall day. Every student was able to "pick" a pumpkin. Some students decorated their pumpkin, others brought theirs home "plain". Activities were set up by our Creativity and Movement Teachers to exercise our big and small muscles. Games included a bean bag toss to knock over the stacked cups, ring toss onto the witch's hat, and toss a bean bag into the jack-o-lantern. Children created a beautiful chalk mural. Some even played Red Light, Green Light with colored pumpkin signs! Pumpkins and decorations were provided by our PTO. There were several photo opportunities! A big shout out to our parent volunteers who manned each activity and to our staff who kept their group moving to enjoy each game with little waiting!
