THERMAL, Calif. (KESQ) – Coachella Valley Unified School District’s (CVUSD) Halloween tradition is back for a second year, aiming to give East Valley students a safe place to celebrate.
CVUSD is hosting its 2nd annual “Trunk or Treat” outside its district office — an event Superintendent Dr. Frances Esparza launched last year to make sure students in the East Valley could dress up, dance and collect candy close to home.
It’s from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Hundreds of district employees are expected to participate, decorating their car trunks and wearing costumes for a “Best Trunk” competition.
Organizers said the event will also feature music, dancing and a big screen broadcast of the Dodgers game.
Around 1,000 students turned out last year and organizers say this year, they’re prepared for 2,000 students.
