Monster Mash
The Outdoor Costume Party is Back!

Get your tickets for the ghouliest and grooviest Pine Hill party of the year - the CSA Monster Mash!! This year, we'll be transforming the back playground into a costume dance party sensation - with DJ Mike on the spins and surprises to light up the night.

Date: Friday, October 22
Time: 4:30-6:30 pm
Location: Pine Hill Elementary Back Playground
Dress: Costumes strongly encouraged. Please dress for whatever the weather may be.
Volunteers Needed for Supervision or Treats: Sign up when you purchase tix

The party is facilitated by CSA volunteers, and we need some more parents to help monitor the event. The DJ does a great job at keeping the kids engaged with activities, so we’ll need folks to help kids stay within the boundaries of the party.

Those with younger Pine Hillers, or a child that may need extra supervision, are encouraged to stay ... and break out some dance moves ... preferably in costume!
