IT IS THE SECOND MONTH OF SCHOOL, AND IT IS ALSO TIME TO CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN! BUT, BEFORE WE TALK ABOUT HALLOWEEN, WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE MAJOR EVENTS OF THIS MONTH. THERE WAS A LOT THAT HAPPENED IN OCTOBER!
FIRST, THERE WAS AN ASSEMBLY ABOUT HOW YOU CAN DO ANYTHING IF YOU TRY. THE PRESENTER SHOWED HOW HE LEARNED TO JUGGLE AND RIDE A UNICYCLE BY USING THE PHRASE “HOW CAN I?” INSTEAD OF “I CAN’T.” EVERYONE WAS SHOCKED AT THE FACT THAT HE SEEMED TO DO THESE THINGS SO EASILY. THEY LEARNED THAT PEOPLE CAN DO ANYTHING IF THEY TRY.
ANOTHER MAJOR THING THAT HAPPENED WAS A STAFF VS. STUDENTS VOLLEYBALL GAME FUNDRAISER. THE STAFF WON 30-29, ALTHOUGH THERE WERE SOME ARGUMENTS THAT THEY STOPPED GIVING THE STAFF POINTS IN THE LAST 5 MINUTES OF THE GAME BECAUSE THEY WANTED THE STUDENTS TO WIN. ALLI Y. SAID, “THE VOLLEYBALL GAME WAS VERY FUN.” IT WAS AN AMAZING FUNDRAISER FOR FIELD TRIPS.
NOW, ONTO HALLOWEEN. THE KIDS IN SCHOOL WERE DOING A LOT OF PROJECTS FOR HALLOWEEN THROUGHOUT THE MONTH. THE FIRST BIG HALLOWEEN EVENT WAS THE DANCE, WHERE KIDS PUT ON THEIR COSTUMES AND DANCED TO DIFFERENT SONGS. THERE WERE COSTUME CONTESTS AT THE DANCE, AND ONE OF THE WINNERS WAS A 5TH GRADE GIRL NAMED KIRSTEN M.
ON HALLOWEEN, THE SCHOOL HAD A PARADE AND EACH CLASS HAD A HALLOWEEN PARTY. PARENTS WERE ALLOWED TO COME TO THE HALLOWEEN PARADE. ALL THE STUDENTS HAD GREAT COSTUMES. OCTOBER WAS A VERY FUN MONTH!
