LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL THEATRE STUDENTS VOLUNTEER
TO TRICK OR TREAT “BECAUSE HUNGER IS A VERY SCARY THING”

The International Thespian Society (ITS), a division of the Educational Theatre Association (EdTA), is pleased to announce the participation of Coe-Brown Northwood Academy’s Thespian Troupe 5976 in the Trick or Treat so Kids Can EatProgram.  Trick or Treat so Kids Can Eat is a national community service program for ITS-member schools to collect canned and dry goods for local charities and food banks. Thespian troupes from across the nation are participating this year.  Theatre students from Coe-Brown will be dressed in costumes to collect food donations during the local Trick or Treat activities in Strafford on October 30 and in Northwood, on October 31. These donations will go to benefit the Northwood Food Pantry. Thousands of pounds of food will be collected in one night across the country, giving organizations the ability to help thousands of local people. In addition, donations of non perishable food items will be accepted at the main office of CBNA until Halloween.  Senior Caitlin Philbrick is chairing this initiative as her senior portfolio project.  We will also be accepting donations of non perishable items at CBNA.
