On Tuesday, Oct. 18th, the school’s EduCare program hosted its annual Halloween carnival and pumpkin painting contest in the cafeteria after school.

Students of all grade levels participated in fun activities like face painting, board games and pumpkin decorating. The opportunity for students to receive a free Kona ice cream was also provided on a first-come first-serve basis.

Other than pumpkin painting, EduCare also provided games and events for students such as the bean bag toss, mini basketball and a witch hat station, allowing students to spend time with friends while celebrating the spooky season.
