Halloween, also known as “All Hallows’ Eve,” is celebrated on October 31st, the day before All Hallows’ or All Saints Day. On this day, strange and scary things happen in the Western world. Skeletons, ghosts, and witches riding on broomsticks appear on the streets as soon as it gets dark. Children in costumes go from house to house, asking for treats with the phrase “Trick or treat”.

Students made their own “trick or treat” baskets and learned to sing a “trick or treat” song. Vampires, scary clowns, skeletons, ghosts, and goblins filled the hallways of the school. Our students learned about Halloween through various activities such as songs and crafts and went “Trick or treating”.
