Monte Vista High School
High School Kaleidoscope By Ananya Lamba, Junior Reporter
S
pooky season is finally here! October is one of the most fun times of the school year. This month kicks off with Homecoming week. During this anticipated week of the school year, each day holds a different theme. Each building is decorated by our talented leadership class, and each building transports students to different worlds that correspond with the theme. Students also get the opportunity to dress up according to the theme of that day. The exciting Homecoming football game takes place on the Friday night at the end of the week. It is an exciting night where students get to spend time with their friends and cheer on our football team. We also get to celebrate our school spirit in the very exciting Homecoming rally on the morning of our game. We get to hype up our football team for the football game and watch students and teachers compete in mini games. The Homecoming dance caps off the week. Students get to dress up and have a night to remember surrounded by their closest friends and people special to them. Homecoming week is one of the most anticipated times of the year, and it leaves everyone with unforgettable memories! Homecoming is not the only exciting time in October, for October ends with my favorite day: Halloween. This spooky time of the year also brings the very scary haunted house to our school. Any student who wishes can take part in the very special event, whether it’s to build the set or to scare whoever dares to pass through. This haunted house gives high school students an excuse to scare any
little siblings or teachers that pass through. Halloween gives us an excuse to go to school in the craziest or comfiest of clothes. Students may be seen in scary costumes, pajamas, or fancy dresses. Those that are still young at heart have their chance to go trick-ortreating and stock up on candy for months to come (unless you eat it all Halloween night) ... This year, we have a special treat: there is no school on November 1st; as a result, students get to celebrate the remainder of the spooky season with their friends late into the night without worrying about school the next day. November 1st will be a day to recover from all the thrills that October had to offer (including tummy aches). Have a happy Halloween!
