PROJECT HELP KIDS HELP BLUE RAIDERS REV UP FOR RAGIN’ CAJUNS
Children Dress for Halloween Success so MTSU Can Scare Louisiana-Lafayette

MURFREESBORO--The tiny toddlers of Project Help and their parents will welcome members of the MTSU football team to their headquarters for Halloween-flavored fun at 10 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 27, at 206 N. Baird Lane in Murfreesboro.

“We thought the parents and the kids would enjoy dressing up to show some Blue Raider spirit” in advance of this Saturday’s football game between MTSU and Louisiana-Lafayette, says Susan Waldrop, Project Help director. The game is slated for 6:30 p.m. at Floyd Stadium.

The kids will ask the players and coaches to help them carve a pumpkin for each Project Help classroom. In addition, the youngsters will dance the “Monster Mash,” and there will be costume recognitions for the “Silliest Blue,” the “Sportiest Blue,” the “Bluest Blue,” and the “Cheering-est Blue.”

Project Help is an early intervention resource agency affiliated with both MTSU and the Rutherford County community. It educates children with delays or disabilities from six to 36 months of age free of charge.

Media are welcomed to take advantage of this delightful photo opportunity. For more information, contact Susan Waldrop at 615-898-2458 or swaldrop@mtsu.edu.
