Here in Berkeley few holidays are as important as Halloween. For both students and staff, this yearly celebration of all things bizarre, spooky, and weird is the perfect opportunity to showcase our creativity. Costumes this year ranged from the ordinary to the downright bizarre. Some favourites included a hunchbacked grim reaper, a pair of flappers from the 20’s, baby swimmers, and a near perfect Mario. Even school Director, Greg Wickline, got involved with a great strait-jacket costume!
Our Halloween party included some of the gems of Halloween tradition, complete with a playlist with all of the classic Halloween tunes. With the school decked out in spiders, cobwebs, skulls, and all things haunted, we filled the central atrium with Halloween cheer. The festivities were opened with a pumpkin carving competition. From there we rolled right into a manic mummy wrap competition. To close, we threw a costume contest with a scream-o-meter judge. The winner was Daisuke Horikoshi from Japan with his Mario costume. We’re pretty sure most of Berkeley could hear the screaming for his performance! Now, with bellies full of candy, we wish all of you a Happy Halloween from Berkeley!
