“Trunk or Treat” was the theme on the eve of Halloween in the Steinm\u00fchle schoolyard. As an event organized entirely by the elementary school parents, cars were lined up there starting at 5 p.m.\u2014each with its trunk open and filled with lots of surprises. With great attention to detail, the parents of our bilingual elementary school students had decorated their trunks in Halloween style and offered various treats to the children as they came by one after another. But that wasn\u2019t all: Not only the children, but also the moms and dads were in costume, so you often had to take a closer look to see who was hiding behind the mask. <\/p>\n

A Parent-Led Initiative<\/strong><\/p>\n

For those who were expecting the familiar phrase \u201cTrick or Treat\u201d rather than \u201cTrunk,\u201d here\u2019s a quick explanation of this variation. \u201cFor many families, this idea replaces the tradition of children going door-to-door, which is sometimes viewed somewhat critically not only in the U.S. but also here in Germany,\u201d explains Lorraine Herrmann, the deputy director of the Bilingual Elementary School. She expressed great pride in the successful parent-led initiative, which involved crafting, lighting, and decorating\u2014and for which she provided only organizational support. Steinm\u00fchle says \u201cThank you\u201d to all the parents whose dedication made such a wonderful evening possible for our elementary school children! <\/p>\n
