ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. — On Saturday, October 11, Seminole Science Charter School hosted a charity event called ‘Petrified Forest,’ with proceeds from ticket sales going to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Kids Day was part of the event, offering costumes, games, and food trucks, drawing families for fun while raising awareness for a cause. Seminole Science Charter School’s Petrified Forest event collected more than 24,000 pieces of candy for trick-or-treating.
