Our Candy Monster is HUNGRY, Westar families — and he’s ready to trade candy for FALL FEST TICKETS!

Bring 50 pieces of candy and get 5 Fall Fest tickets! Keep feeding him and keep earning those tickets!

Drop off your candy Monday–Thursday from 7:10–7:30 AM in front of the office. Your tickets will be given to you right when you donate, so hang onto them for Fall Fest!

Please bring individually wrapped, mixed-variety trick-or-treat candy, and no peanut candy, please.

Every bag helps us stock up for an AMAZING Fall Fest on October 29!

Come feed the monster… we have a feeling he’s going to be VERY hungry!

🍂🎃 FALL FEST IS THE EVENT OF THE YEAR!!! 🎃🍂

Westar families, it is officially time to start getting excited because Fall Fest is coming Wednesday, October 29th from 4:30–7:00 PM! And this year there are SO many ways to be part of making it amazing!

We’ll have Trunk or Treat, bounce houses, games, food trucks, a haunted hallway, photo booth, costume contest, raffle baskets and MORE! But an event this big takes our whole Westar community — and there’s something for everyone to jump into!
