Halloween On Campus

There were lots of Halloween events going on around campus today, so I will just highlight a few of them here.
First off, on hall, we had Halloween Treat Bags from the Brownings. They were amazing! We had candy, of course, apples, raisins, Rice Krispie Treats, and Halloween party favors like glow sticks, fake vampire teeth, and eyeball bouncy balls. All the girls got one (for those who were at home this weekend, I left it in their room for them), and everyone seemed to enjoy the special treat. A HUGE thanks to the Brownings for the threat bags.
We also had Halloween brownies from our faculty hall parent, Dr. Teachey on hall today. They were yummy and had little pumpkin candies on them. Thanks, Dr. Teachey!
And, last but not least, we had a scary movie marathon on hall. The girls watched "The Ring" and "The Eye". I did not, because I don't like scary movies.
As for campus activities, they started off early this morning with an Open House on campus where interested sophomores got to visit the campus. Lots of the students were up early to help out with this event.
Tonight, the school had its annual Halloween Dance, which had a Harry Potter theme. Most of the students came in costume to enjoy yummy halloween treats donated by parents and to dance the night away. Many of the girls on hall dressed up and attended. I believe I saw a bunny, 2 cats, a ninja, a pirate, Doug Funny, Hannah Montana, and an SLI. And those are just the ones I happened to see...Hopefully pictures of some girls in their costumes will follow.
After the Halloween Dance, there was an SAB lock-in in the PEC. They showed movies, had games set up, and just generally partied the night away.
Looking to next week, the girls will be having exams and looking forward to trimester break. We will be having study breaks each exam night, and will also be doing stress relief activities. Hopefully the girls will all stay healthy and relativly stress-free through exam week.
