Held in the Francis-Stevens cafeteria, the Fall Festival had several activities to get students in the Halloween spirit. Stations included a “freeze dancing” competition to spooky songs, “Pin the Sticker on the Witch,” and a “Mummy Wrap Race,” where one brave student volunteered to be mummified in toilet paper. More classic carnival activities included face painting and “Throw a Ball at Soda Cans and See If You Can Knock Them All Down."
