Halloween Carnival

Friday, November 6

After moving it from last week, we celebrated Halloween on Friday with our Halloween Carnival. All through October, students earned tickets by going above and beyond, and on Friday they spent them on carnival games and prizes.

Each student wore a booth passport on their wrist and made their way round the booths: a fishing game, Ring Toss, Guess Who, Witch’s Brew, Ghost Races, face painting and more, before choosing a prize at the prize table.
