Roosevelt School students have a chance to display their Halloween costumes a week early, when the ghosts and ghouls flock to the annual Halloween Bash tomorrow (Friday).
The Roosevelt School Parent-Teacher Association will host its annual Halloween Bash from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., at the Brooks Boulevard school. The event is open to Roosevelt students and their immediate families, with the students paying $2 to get in and the family members getting in free.
According to PTA President Dayna Camacho, the event is one of the school’s most popular, with the many students coming to show off their costumes and spend time with friends.
”They love this,” Ms. Camacho said. “This is one of their all-time favorite events of the year.”
Ms. Camacho said the PTA begins planning the event in September, to secure donations for drinks and snacks, to book the DJ, and to find volunteers to help run the bash.
Students attending the bash will pass through the Haunted Hallway, another tradition for the annual event. Roosevelt teachers decorate the hallway each year, Ms. Camacho said, with Gregory Shannon and Jeffrey Cook planning the decorations.
”Anything goes with those two — I don’t know (what they’re planning),” Ms. Camacho said. “It’s from as soon as you walk in, all the way down the corridor.”
In addition to the Haunted Hallway, Ms. Camacho said the DJ at the bash would lead games throughout the night, and the PTA would have costume contests with prizes for the best, funniest, scariest — and coolest —costumes.
