From Maryville & Overdale Family Resource Center
🎃✨ The North Area Headstart/Preschool Trunk or Treat Night was a huge success!
Hosted by the Maryville/Overdale and Brooks/Freedom Family Resource Centers, this event brought together preschool teachers, the BCPS School Readiness Coach, OVEC, Zoneton Fire Department, BCPS Book Bus, and Bullitt County Public Library for a fun-filled evening of learning and laughter.
Students enjoyed trick-or-treating, received books, flashcards, and other take-home family engagement activities! 🍬📚
We loved seeing 21 MES & OES students and their families join us for the festivities. Thank you to all the families and partners who made this event such a special night for our youngest Patriots and Mustangs! 💙♥️ #BCPSFamily #EarlyLearning #TrunkOrTreat #FRYSC
