Kids love to celebrate Halloween, and the efforts of a school in Plano to help children with autism also enjoy the fun is something good.
"We want to give back to the kids who because of sensory sensitivities are not able to attend Trick or Treat festivities otherwise," said Trinette Pierre, the aunt of an 8-year-old boy who attends the Wind Rose Academy.
Wind Rose Academy is a special needs private school where children with developmental challenges from Pre-K to graduation get the attention they need.
The school will host the Trunk or Treat event on Saturday, Oct. 22 and is looking for volunteers, donors and sponsors.

Sponsors and donors can visit the school's wish list on Amazon or donate through the Amazon Smile program.
