StuCo put on the second annual Haunted Halls event Sunday, Oct. 29. The event was open to all kids of elementary age in the community.
Sophomore Sienna Suderman describes what set up went into the event and what Haunted Halls was all about.
“We decorated some of the hallways with cobwebs and other halloween decorations. At first we were split into different groups and assigned a different area to decorate but we all kind of ended up decorating everything,” Suderman said. “It’s an event where kids can dress up and come do fun halloween activities and games and we give them candy.”
Senior Kynley Verdict explains how the community gets involved.
“During the event students pass out candy and we have games set-up where they can win prizes. The event is not a fundraiser for us, it is just something we set-up for the community,” Verdict said. “Since we don’t make any money off of the event we relied on candy donations from the public and coupons for local businesses for prizes.”
Suderman explains how everyone enjoyed the event and what her specific job was.
“My only job was to be a fortune teller and tell the kids their fortunes. It was so fun to make things up and I loved to see their reactions when I “knew” their birthdays and what schools they went to,” Suderman said. “Everyone was getting super into it and had good costumes. It was super fun for the kids in their costumes and I think everyone loved it.”
Verdict describes why the event is beneficial for the community.
“It’s a great way to get the community involved and it’s a good way to celebrate Halloween with elementary schoolers in our community,” Verdict said. “It was all very energetic with music and kids playing games and asking for candy.”
