DAYTON-The High School Associated Student Body (ASB) has been hard at work on many big projects this year, including their latest success; Halloween Spirit Week. This event was planned for the high school students, and with the spooky holiday landing on a Saturday this year, the perfect opportunity for a spirit week agenda opened up.

The fun-filled week began on Monday, this day was designated as "Spooky PJ Day", where students were asked to wear their pajamas for the day, and preferably, their favorite Halloween themed ones. Along with the dress-up theme of the day, the high schoolers were treated to donuts, hot cider, and a little Halloween themed karaoke in the high school commons before class. On Tuesday, or "Halloween Color Day", each class was given a designated Halloween themed color to wear, in honor of class spirit. The Seniors were given the color black, the Juniors orange, the Sophomores purple, and the Freshman class left with green. The ASB also provided each first period classroom with white face masks, and markers for a mask decorating activity.

Wednesday was "Goblins and Ghouls" day, also known as group dress up day. The students were very creative with their matching group costumes, donning matching outfits, dressing up as TV characters, or even as matching pieces of candy. On this day the ASB organized a special murder mystery for each first period class to solve. Students from each classroom were chosen to be the detective of their class, and given the task of unraveling "Who Killed Brutus?" The detectives were given clues which were written on the backs of puzzle pieces. Once all of the puzzle pieces were collected, they created a photograph revealing that it was in fact, math teacher Dave Phillips, who "murdered" the beloved Brutus the Bulldog.

After the exciting events from the previous day, Thursday was designated the simple activity of students decorating their own trick-or-treat bags. Along with the fitting dress-up theme of the day, where students were asked to come dressed as their favorite candy. The personalized treat bags were put to use on Friday. At the beginning of each class period, the students would trick-or-treat at their next classroom, where the teachers were waiting with candy to pass out. Of course, with the trick-or-treat activity, it was only fitting students were allowed to wear their Halloween costumes as well.
