The classrooms and lockers along the Butterfly Hallway, Commons, and the Loft were decked out in spiderwebs and other Halloween decorations for Trick or Treat Street 2013. StuCo hosted the event, which included some clubs such as Speech and Debate, NHS, KOE. The children who came through Trick or Treat Street were FHN students’ siblings, children of faculty members, or students at surrounding elementary schools that will eventually be attending school at FHN. The clubs that participated were assigned a room to decorate in any way they chose and many groups decided to deck out their rooms in a specific theme.
“The club we missed was the Ecology Club with their petting zoo,” Jani Wilkens, one of the sponsors that helped to organize Trick or Treat Street said. “We were sad to not see that because it was a really popular room.”
Though some just told their members to wear any costume they wanted, most of the participants from the different organizations also decided to dress up in costumes that matched the theme for their rooms, such as Young Republicans and Speech and Debate teaming up to make dress up in a Star Wars theme. Each room had a different activity that the club decided on for the children to participate in. Some of the activities included decorating cupcakes and cookies, a superhero skit, and a maze.
“The kids loved the bounce house and the maze that we had set up in the loft in the Commons and the rooms decorated with balloons and streamers,” said Dominique Cutts, a StuCo member. “There were plenty of opportunities for them to get candy and treats.”
