Christine Schwichtenberg’s advisory hands out candy to those that pass by.

Trick-or-treating is an activity that doesn’t happen for most high school students. But, boundaries between the spooky candy-giving holiday and the regular school routine were blurred Nov. 2 as students donned masks and set out to collect sweet treats. Advisories were asked to bring in candy during X-period for a school-wide trick-or-treating session.

Upper School English teacher Emily Anderson’s advisory organized the event, and 33 advisories participated.  Half the advisories trick or treated for from 10:05-10:20, with the second half trick or treating from 10:20-10:35.  For the last 10 minutes, all advisories made sure to clean up wrappers littering the halls.

Junior Larry Chen said, “My favorite part of the trick-or-treating was actually getting the candy.”

Chen said that his advisory didn’t use the activity to bond as a group: “I mean, we didn’t really go as an advisory. It was more of a free-for-all.”
