No traffic will be allowed to enter or exit between the hours of 8:00 am and 7:00 pm Sunday. The Tow Away / No Parking restrictions will be strictly enforced during these hours.

Additionally, Warner needs your support! If you or your company is interested in becoming a sponsor of the Haunt, please contact Sabrina Ishak at sabrina.ishak@gmail.com. We have several levels of sponsorship opportunities available whereby your name or business will be prominently displayed as a sponsor at the event.

Thank you for your continued support of our neighborhood school!
