Hidden Oak Elementary students and their families enjoyed the school’s third annual “Spooktacular.” The students and their siblings, who were dressed up as everything from Harry Potter to Strawberry Shortcake, enjoyed a free evening of games, contests and treats, courtesy of the Hidden Oak PTA. “They love this,” said Hidden Oak principal Dr. Doris Richardson. “It’s wonderful.”

PTA president Lillian Swanger says the event gets bigger and bigger every year.
