The OCES Halloween Howl is Almost Here!

Date: October 24, 2025

Time: 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm - Doors open at 5:30pm
Where: Olde Creek Elementary School

We are excited to see you on Friday, October 24 for Olde Creek’s annual Halloween Howl! 

Sign Up to Volunteer at the Halloween Howl!

The Halloween Howl would not be possible without the support of volunteers like you! This is one of Olde Creek’s most beloved events so any volunteer role you choose is guaranteed to be fun!

We need volunteers to run the Cake Game Activity and decorate cars for Trunk-or-Treat in addition to distributing tickets and food. We also need lots of donations of cakes and candy!

Most slots require only 30 to 45 minutes of your time. The Howl needs a lot of volunteers to be successful. Responsible middle school and high school students are welcome to volunteer. They make great Cake Game managers!

We look forward to seeing you on Friday!  

Here’s your guide to a fun event!

 The Halloween Howl is this Friday! Doors open at 5:30 PM. 

We need help to set up and decorate, please sign up! We start at 3:30 PM and get everything done in about an hour with many hands to help! 

1. Buy your tickets now instead of at the door.  This helps to make the check-on process faster and ensures we order enough pizza for everyone. 

                    Bring a copy of our confirmation email with you in order to collect your tickets. 

2. Don’t skip dinner! Purchase a pizza for your whole family to enjoy at the Howl.

     a. You can order pizza by the slice.

     b. All pizza orders must be submitted by Wednesday, October 22! 

3. Sign up to donate a cake for the Halloween Howl Cake Game! The Cake Game is the most popular activity of the night. The more cakes we have, the more cakes we can give away to the lucky winners!

4. Back again this year!

Participate in our “reverse trick-or-treat” for our Bears Cares Pantry.  Things like olive oil, flour, canned goods, and snacks are particularly good to bring. Make sure your items are placed in bags and dropped off in the back of the cafeteria near the signs.

5. Dress up in your favorite costume and be prepared to have fun! This event is a great way to celebrate our OCES community.
