Haunted Halls & School Spirit: A Week of Fun and Friendship!

by Chamoné Swanepoel & Merry Zoe Venice Sy (IB-1)

In spooky style, a group of four students in IB-1 planned a very creative and interactive week of spirit and fun! The students planned a week full of different dress-ups to unite all students and to bring so stress-free vibes and have a little fun! The days that were planned for the week were Monday - pajama day, to start off the week comfy. Tuesday - Twin Day, to let classes and fellow friends get together and form stronger friendships. Wednesday - Jersey Day, to allow classmates to find things in common about which sports teams they support. Thursday - anything but a backpack, this fostered the people within the school to show their creativity in ways people didn´t expect. Finally, Friday - Halloween dress-up.

This allowed classmates to coordinate and show off their ideas and creativity for the whole school!

The class that participated the most as well as having the most creativity won a pizza party so the whole class could celebrate their achievements.

Throughout the week, the school hallways were filled with laughter, excitement, and colorful outfits that showed everyone’s personality. From students bringing their books in trash bags and baskets to wearing matching costumes with their best friends, the energy was contagious. Teachers also joined in on the fun, adding to the spirit of togetherness. It was a refreshing break from the usual routine and a reminder that school isn’t just about academics, it's about building memories and friendships that last.

By the end of the week, the halls may have been haunted with Halloween fun, but the true spirit that lingered was one of unity, joy, and pride in being part of such a creative and spirited community.
