👻 Monsters on Main & Halloween Fun in Forney! 🎃
We had an absolute blast at Forney's first-ever Monsters on Main event this past Saturday! The energy in downtown Forney was electric, with families and kiddos decked out in their spookiest (and cutest!) Halloween costumes. From 12 noon to 4 pm, Main Street was transformed into a haven for trick-or-treaters, with booths lining the sidewalks and tons of candy up for grabs.
We were thrilled to be a part of this inaugural event and loved getting to connect with our amazing community. Seeing the smiles on the kids' faces as they filled their bags with treats made it all worthwhile. It was the perfect opportunity to embrace the Halloween spirit and create some lasting memories for Forney families.
But the fun doesn't stop there! Mark your calendars for another exciting event happening right here at our school! Join us on Thursday, October 31st, from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm for an evening of Halloween fun. We'll have [mention specific activities planned for the school event, e.g., games, costume contests, haunted house, etc.]. It's going to be a spooktacular time you won't want to miss!
We're already looking forward to next year's Monsters on Main and continuing to be an active part of these wonderful community events.
