Halloween Extravaganza





The S.T.A.R. Halloween Extravaganza on Monday, October 31st, proved to be a spectacular bonding event as buddies, mentors, and School of Education students got together to sit back, relax and enjoy a bit of Halloween fun. Pizza was served alongside delicious baked goods and candy donated by generous members of our S.T.A.R. team, many of whom displayed their Halloween spirit by arriving in full costume. Mentors and Buddies had the opportunity to take photos, watch the classic Halloween movie "Hocus Pocus," and perhaps share a laugh or two. At the close of the event, the S.T.A.R. Coordinators awarded two prizes, treat bags filled with candy and a Starbucks gift card, to the best dressed mentor/buddy pair, Kelvin Sage and his freshman buddy, Saalima Welch. Congratulations to the most spirited duo, who dressed up as Batman and an adorable school girl. The S.T.A.R. Coordinators were thrilled at the large turn out and enthusiasm of all who attended. It will certainly be one of many exciting events to come!

  1. First and foremost, I must say that whoever the Dark Knight's alter ego was, he must have been a sharp dude lol. Overall, I truly enjoyed the Halloween Extravaganza. Kudos to the S.T.A.R. Team on the amazing setup and party! I always wanted to don the cape of the Dark Knight and this was a great chance to "become" one of my favorite superheroes for a day.

    I'm glad my S.T.A.R. Buddy Saalima came along as well to join in the festivities, and even dress up as a cute Kindergartener. It was awesome to hear us announced as the Halloween Costume Contest Winners and I hope that not only the mentorship, but the friendship between me and her continues to grow stronger! And hopefully next time she doesn't take my cupcake while I'm not looking lol.

  2. I had a great time at the STAR Halloween event. The cafe was decorated very nicely and the food was great! Sadly I did not get to see my STAR buddies there, but think it was a great way to get everyone together.

  3. Unfortunately I was unable to attend this great event. S.T.A.R is such a great program and though I am not much of a Halloween person I like the idea of bringing everyone together in this one event. I hope everyone had a great time. I can definitely see from the picture of Kelvin and his S.T.A.R buddy did. Great costumes!

  4. The STAR Halloween event was so much fun! I wish my STAR buddy had been able to attend and that I had been able to stay longer. Also, Kelvin you're costume was absolutely amazing, Batman is my favorite superhero of all time.
