Trunk-Or-Treat & Halloween Celebration

Friday, October 30th, the families of ATA West Chester celebrated Miss Boulden & Mr. Jouan's favorite time of year by Trunk-or-Treating and playing games. We had a Halloween Celebration inside the school as well as, Hayrides and Trunk-or-Treating outside the school. Everyone came in costume and enjoyed seeing Miss Boulden & Mr. Jouan dressed up as crazy doctors. The night concluded with a demonstration and tons more treats!

Also, the Thursday night before our celebration, we made our first appearance in the West Chester Halloween Parade and handed out over 500 goodies and treats to the children in the area. We broke boards and did special demonstrations throughout the night. A special thank you to Mr. Ciarlello, Mr. Salotti, & Mr. Herzog for making it possible for us to have a trailer of hay and for helping us stay safe while having fun!

Everyone had a top notch performance and we are very excited to see the school's original students change to purple belt! We even had a student test for her 2nd degree black belt! It was an amazing event. Also, a special thank you to our sponsor Suntricity Power for being a part of our big day and handing out Gatorade to the students.
