TRUNK OR TREAT 2025
THANK YOU TO OUR TRUNK-OR-TREAT VOLUNTEERS!
We would like to thank all of our Trunk-or-Treat volunteers for your hard work, creativity, and dedication!
To our spooky carnival hallway decorators, everyone who worked the event, and especially our trunk hosts, thank for you for making this a wonderful community event.
Congratulations to the Costco Trunk, hosted by our fantastic P.S. 81 teachers, which took home "Favorite Trunk" by popular vote! <<See photo below>>
Welcome to the P.S. 81 Parents' Association!
We’re so glad you’re here! As a parent or guardian of a P.S. 81 student, you are automatically a member of the Parents' Association—no sign-ups or fees required. That’s right—you’re already part of a vibrant community of families working together to support our school, our students, and each other.
The Parents' Association is made up entirely of parent and guardian volunteers who help plan events, fundraise, and create enriching experiences for all of our children. Whether you have a little time or a lot, there’s a place for you here—and every contribution makes a difference.
