Instead of a formal looking letter, what about a cheeky little note :laughing:
Saying any donations for the forthcoming Halloween trip would be gratefully received........

How about using some Halloween pictures on a poster type thing and get the kids to colour it in. Ask on there for a contribution towards the fun things you have planned for the half term and list a few of the things.

Maybe state some have a cost and some are free. That way they wont think you are just doing things that are going to need money.
