- Encourage children to come in costume, but remember the school's guidelines: school-appropriate themes, no blood, scary masks, or weapons.
- If you're interested in volunteering to decorate a trunk or help as a greeter, sign up in advance via the provided link to ensure participation.
- Check the weather forecast and dress children in layers, as the event is outdoors and October evenings can be cool in Vancouver.
