Students Celebrate Halloween in Variety of Ways
By Braxton Ward and George Zavala
Halloween, often considered the scariest of the holidays, is a time of celebration and superstition. Halloween began over 2,000 years ago and has developed over time into what it is today. So how do students around Chrisman celebrate this night of festivities?
There are many different ways that students plan to celebrate Halloween, from dressing up to go trick-or-treating, or even going out with family to go through a corn maze at the pumpkin patch.
Dressing up for Halloween has been one of the best traditions in recent history.
Senior William Weston has one of the more interesting costumes that you will hear of, “ I plan on dressing up as the back half of a horse for Halloween and my cousin is going to be the front half.”
Some high schoolers think that they are too old to go trick-or-treating so they have their own way of celebrating on Halloween night.
Junior Joseph Salazar says this about how he is going to celebrate, “I am going to go have some fun at a party.”
Going to parties seems to be a very popular activity for high school students during Halloween.
But still there are some people that would rather not go and do anything on Halloween. They would rather stay in and not be bothered by all of the Halloween festivities.
Sophomore Evelyn Boughan shares this viewpoint, “I don’t really have any plans for Halloween. I am just going to hang out with my friend Kayli.”
Students are not the only people at Chrisman that like to get out and celebrate on Halloween. Multiple teachers throughout the building also like to join in on the fun. Handing out candy to kids is a pretty popular choice for teachers, but there are a few that do a bit more.
Science teacher Ms. Harrison plans on taking her three year old and three month old daughters out to go trick-or-treating.
Another science teacher, Mr. Beaman, might have the best plans for Halloween,
“I decorate my house for Halloween and I dress up. I decorate my yard as a graveyard and have flaming pumpkins scattered around it. I usually have over 200 kids visit my house each year,” he said.
