Public Health Authorities Recommended Safer Alternatives for Halloween
Health officials have encouraged families to stay at home and skip the Halloween tradition of door-to-door trick-or-treating. Safer alternatives were recommended, such as virtual costume contests, virtual parties, movie night, and scavenger hunts.
Following the Public Health guidelines, our students safely spent a scary and fun Halloween weekend. Students and staff members had the opportunity to wear their best and spookiest costumes for our Annual Halloween Costume Contest. The celebration also included a Horror Movie Night and lots of treats. Don’t forget to check the Halloween photos on CIC Instagram.
