This year, several Novi schools are teaming up to collect Halloween costumes to donate to students at the Academy of the Americas in Detroit.
Everyone is welcome to donate, and gently used costumes can be dropped off at the following schools through Oct. 10:
- Deerfield Elementary, 26500 Wixom Road
- Novi Meadows, 25549 Taft Road
- Parkview Elementary, 45825 W. 11 Mile Road
The costume drive is organized by Bridgepointe Novi, a non-profit organization based in Detroit.

Cavazos said they have a goal to collect 100 costumes.
