Halloween Is Only A Few Days Away!

 
Halloween Is Only A Few Days Away!

Halloween festivities are only a day or two away! This means costumes, candy, parties, and all kinds of other things.

Did you know that the history of how Halloween started is actually much, much different than how we celebrate it in the present? Check out this archived MacInsiders article on the Real History of Halloween.

On Friday the Maroons are doing their thirtieth annual hike in the Westdale community! The Maroons will be helping elementary students from G.R. Allen Elementary school carve pumpkins and go on jack o lantern-lit hike of Cootes. For more information, on helping out, check out their Facebook event.

Do you have your costume ready yet? If you don't, check Rishima Talwar's recent article on quick and easy Halloween costumes!

Not sure what you're doing on Halloween night? There is always the option to hang out with friends and/or to go to a bar or club. But if you miss going out Trick Or Treating, why not help out with Trick or Eat? You go door to door in your Halloween costume asking for food donations to help the local Hamilton community...and some people do give you candy to eat too! For more information check out this announcement.

Homework. Same as every year.

I've got so much work to do in November I'll be lucky if I get six hours of sleep a night.

BUT! I plan on watching Nightmare Before Christmas this weekend.

I always wanted to go as Pyramid Head from Silent Hill... I'm just too fat to pull it off.. >:

I also am not doing anything for halloween as I lack a social life. Maybe I'll just get a horror movie or two.

If you are really busy check out Trick or Eat, its only three hours long and a bunch of fun. Plus you get to do some good and really promote a positive student image in the neighborhood. just remember registration is mandatory.
