CREEPY HOLLOW 2026
Every year, both of my sons' elementary school comes alive with one of our community's most anticipated Halloween celebrations: Creepy Hollow!
This isn't just a Halloween carnival. It's an extraordinary community-powered fundraiser that transforms Sleepy Hollow Elementary into a full-scale Halloween wonderland, bringing together creativity, entertainment, carnival games, haunted attractions, incredible food, and festive experiences for children and families, all in support of our public school programs.
And this year? Creepy Hollow 2026 was nothing short of spectacular!
I had the incredible honor of co-leading this massive production alongside an amazing team of leads, dedicated parents, volunteers, and our wonderful Sleepy Hollow community. Months of vision, brainstorming, coordination, and behind-the-scenes execution went into bringing every detail to life. From the smallest creative touches to the biggest attractions, every element came together to create an unforgettable experience for our school community.
