The community of Peyton, Colo., is spread out and rural, so there’s not a safe and easy way for children to trick or treat at Halloween. Peyton Elementary Parents, the parent group at the school, provides a fun and safe option by partnering with National Honor Society students. Volunteers decorate the school halls to create a spooky route, then dress in costumes to hand out candy as the children work their way through the halls. Trick-or-treating is followed by a fun carnival in the gym, with traditional favorites like a cake walk, ring toss, and pie-in-the-face. The event even includes a haunted hayride!
