As the leaves begin to fall, and the Homecoming season approaches, students at Upper Perk prepare for the school’s yearly costume contest for Halloween! This event offers students the opportunity to showcase their creativity and imagination through various categories such as “Most Original,” “Best Couple,” “Best Group,” “Scariest” and “Funniest.”
Applications are available at the school store for students who wish to participate in the event. Students who have applied in the morning will be considered for the contest. This spooky event will be held on Thursday, October 31st at UPHS. Participants and other students willing to dress up should arrive at school in appropriate costumes on the day of the contest. Hats may only be worn for judging purposes, and students are prohibited from wearing masks that cover their faces. Additionally, costumes containing gore or weapons are strictly forbidden.
Upon registration for the contest, participants will receive a slip containing where to go for the voting process and who the judges will be. The judges in this contest will include various staff members, including secretaries and security members. Participants with top rankings will be rewarded with a bag of candy, and their costume(s) will be featured in the yearbook.
Mrs. Lychock, the host of this event, has expressed her belief that it provides a chance “for kids to be creative and show their school spirit.” If you are seeking somewhere to unleash and showcase your creativity, this event offers a great opportunity to do so.
WSJ is looking forward to seeing the artistic and imaginative costumes our students can come up with so come out and participate in this yearly tradition! Stay tuned for the big reveal of who will wow the judges with their costumes and take home the prize.
