Halloween is Coming....

It is an Arctic Village School tradition to have a Halloween Carnival and Haunted House. Sam's students have spent the last three afternoons working on getting the gym set up.

There will be the typical carnival style games such as a duck pond, bean bag toss, bowling, darts, etc. The carnival was supposed to be Friday night, but because some of the supplies did not come in on the plane in time, it was postponed until Saturday night. It will be a busy weekend because there will also be a Costume Contest at the community hall on Sunday night.

I helped the kids make a graveyard. They made their own tombstones with causes of death such as: "Died from listening to an IPOD too much", "Died from too much homework" and "Died from eating too much."
The main event of the night will be a cake walk. Apparently it is a big deal and everyone loves to participate. The school kitchen still smells like cake this morning because women from the village were baking cakes for hours last night.

There are decorations throughout the school. Even the Elder room was given a few spooky touches.
More pictures to come after tonight!
