Here are a few photos from St. Joseph School's annual "Trick or Trunk" event, a safer and fun alternative to door-to-door trick or treating.
Parents (and a few other parishioners) park their cars close together in the parking lot, then open their trunks/hatchbacks to reveal Halloween decorations.
Immediately after school, SJS students in costume go from car to car, trick or treating with their classmates.
This event is lots of fun. A number of parents and teachers dress up, too.
Mr. Porod, Vice Principal, who every year finds a unique costume to wear and persona to adopt, this year chose to come dressed as Mr. Manetti, SJS Principal. Priceless!

In girls varsity basketball action on Wednesday night at Hale Park, the Knights scored a convincing victory over the girls from the UNO Charter School.
Both teams started slowly, and the Knights led by only a 4-0 margin at halftime. But they maintained their defensive intensity in the second half and added an offense marked by good ball handling, smart passing, aggressive rebounding and consistent scoring. By the final buzzer, the Knights had pulled away for a one-sided 16-2 triumph.
The varsity Knights are a young squad this year---most are fifth and sixth graders---but are determined, well coached and learning quickly.
