Halloween Spirit Week once again brewed a little bit of excitement at the end of October at SPX, filling the halls with colour, costumes, and a little extra energy.

The week kicked off with Halloween Colours Day, as students added a little pumpkin spice to their wardrobe, turning classrooms into a mix of orange, purple, red and LOTS of black. 

Tuesday, we were seeing double (literally) on Twin Day. It had students pairing up in matching outfits and fun accessories, possibly cursed with identical taste. 

As always, Wednesdays we wear green – Pius Pride day. Our hallways became flooded with green, black, and white. 

While the participation might have been verging on ghostly on some days, PJ day was definitely the exception (because who doesn’t love an excuse to wear PJs to class?).  It also came with a spooky Kahoot in the cafeteria.

Friday was the big event as students and teachers used their creativity to make a variety of Halloween costumes. Some costumes featured robbers from the Louvre, tic tacs, angels, devils, monkeys, and characters from How to Train your Dragon, Winnie the Pooh, and Scooby-Doo  -– to name a few. The real question is:  who was best – teachers or students? This spooky day also featured a costume contest in the Cafetorium at lunch, won by Danylo Turianytsia, who dressed up as a marshmallow. 

The traditional door decorating contest was won by Mr. Boucher’s class, who gave their section of the school a super spooky transformation. In addition, the Hairstyling and Aesthetics team worked their magic by doing hair, nails, and makeup for Halloween. 

Overall, Halloween Spirit Week was a fantastic way to celebrate the season. From spooky good costumes to cozy PJ day vibes, everyone’s creativity made this week memorable, proving that even a small spark of spirit can make the season bright.
