Prizes, dance offs, and a mummy making challenge were the biggest treats of the Halloween assembly. Leadership students decided to do a little more than just a costume contest at lunch for Halloween. Multiple events such as a dance off, costume contests, prizes for perfect attendance, student of the month awards, and even a donut eating contest thrilled students and teachers alike. For those with perfect attendance, principal Jeffery Trapp announced that for every week that students attend without any absences, their names will be put into a bucket to be drawn for prizes. Leadership student senior Ori Hackworth said, “I really think with adding another dance off just like the one from the homecoming assembly it let younger students express their ways of showing talents that they may have and give them an opportunity to be more involved.”
