Because their annual field trip was canceled due to COVID-19, kindergarten students instead were treated to a colorful Halloween pumpkin patch outing on the school’s front lawn, funded by a local donor. Faculty and staff scattered more than 45 pumpkins across the yard, and the children got to choose their favorites.
Students and staff went all out to make Halloween a hair-raising spectacle on the school’s campus. Upper school drama students staged scary drive-through performances, and attendees were treated to popcorn and glow sticks as they moved along Carpe Diem Drive. Lower school students enjoyed a fun Halloween parade and other spooky activities to celebrate the holiday.
