 * More Info On Trick or Eat**

Hi everyone! This is Ashley from your executive, and I would like to tell you a little bit about Trick or Eat. For those of you who don't know, Trick or Eat is a nationwide food drive for the local Fredericton Food Bank. It takes place every year on Halloween. Students form teams, dress up in their Halloween costumes and gather in James Dunn Hall (where Tim Hortons' is) to receive a route, a map and to be paired with a driver. There are also prizes for the best costumes and highest participation. You are then bussed all over the city to your various routes (buses also come back to pick you up - you aren't just left there) and you collect non-perishable food items. The whole process only takes about 2 or 3 hours - you'll be back by 8 or 8:30pm.

This is a very worthwhile and fun way to spend your evening on Halloween. It is a cause I'm very passionate about, and I hope you'll join up. Each year, little St. Thomas raises tons (yes, in the plural) of food for the food bank, and we are often top ranked in the country with schools tens of times our size. It's worth coming to see the school spirit, if nothing else.

All you have to do to be involved is register online at [] and click "Volunteer with a Campaign in Your Community." I've created a team for the BEd students called "The Teacher Creatures" (super cool, I know). After you select the option to join Trick or Eat as "A Team Member," search "The Teacher Creatures" as the team you'd like to join. And that's it! I hope to see you all on Halloween!
