It’s time for Trick-or-Treat Time in Salisbury Township!

This year’s trick or treat will be 6-8 p.m. Oct. 31. It’s actually on Halloween!

Please be mindful as you drive through the streets that there will be lots of ghouls and goblins and some of our township streets can get VERY full. While it is a fun night, we also want everyone to stay safe.

Trinity Memorial Lutheran Church, 535 W. Emaus Ave, will host a trunk or treat 6-8 p.m. Oct. 31.

The Allentown Public Library, 1210 Hamilton St., Allentown, is hosting a used book sale 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 24-25. There will be a large assortment of used books on all topics to choose from at the sale. It’s a great bargain and all proceeds benefit the library. Books, CDs and DVDs are for sale. For more information, call 610-820-2400 or visit allentownpl.org.

Salisbury Elementary School will hold its annual Veterans Day celebration Nov. 11.

A Veterans Breakfast is scheduled 7:15-8:30 a.m. in the school cafeteria. Veterans who are family members of students and staff and a community member who served in the military will be treated to a full breakfast.

The second event for the day will be the traditional Walkway Greeting 8:40-9:05 a.m.

Veterans will be invited to join each other and line the main hallway to greet students as they enter the school to start their day.

If either or both of these events interest you, please reach out to SES Assistant Principal Brian Muschlitz at bmuschlitz@salisburysd.org or 610-791-2800.

Our SHS Theatre is hard at work for the upcoming production of “Harvey.” Mark your calendars for Nov. 6-9 and make sure to come out to support these students! Show times and tickets will be available as the opening night gets closer.

The next operations and finance committee meeting for the school district is scheduled 7 p.m. Nov. 5 and the next curriculum and technology meeting will be held 7 p.m. Nov. 19. The next school board meeting will immediately follow the curriculum and technology meeting.
