Fright Week!
Spooky Season is officially here! Spiders, tombstones, and skeletons cover our campus (thank you grounds team!) as we get into the Halloween spirit. This week, leading up to October 31st, the SEC has organized Fright Week, which entails events for all grades each day of the week.
Fright Week has been a tradition at Brentwood for many years now. The activities help to get students excited for the days to come and distract them from their busy academic schedules.
This year, the SEC started Monday off with a house spirit dress-up day. Students and staff got to wear their house colours and show some house pride. Prizes were at stake, and the student with the best display of house spirit would be awarded a $45 McNeill’s Coffee gift card! Additionally, the house with the most students dressing up in their corresponding house colours will win their choice of pizza or ice cream sundaes for the whole house. Tuesday was action-packed with pumpkin carving, cookie decorating, a goodie bag fundraising event, and a spooky jack-o-lantern display.
On Wednesday, the fun continued with black and orange dress-up day, Grade 8 pumpkin carving and the well awaited Nigerian Dinner. On Thursday, a fan favourite returned: horror trivia will be in McNeill’s with prizes for the winners.
As the week nears the end, today the excitement continues. In the morning, Halloween Costume Dress-up day for staff and students will take place with prizes for best dressed in each category. Then this evening, all eight houses will gather in the Killy Theatre for everyone’s favourite event of the year, Airband, Brentwood’s very own ‘So You Think You Can Dance’. “Airband is by far the biggest interhouse event of the year, everyone looks forward to it, and everyone wants to win,” admits Finn G, Ellis ‘23.
Just when you thought all the fun had come to an end, on Saturday the SAC will set up Karaoke in Crooks Hall, the classrooms will be opened for trick-or-treating, and at night, Hope Open House will end off the week with a bang! “We decided to keep it traditional: it only seemed appropriate to go with a Halloween theme” excites Hope Captain, Lisa M, Hope ‘22, “Alex H will also be DJing - so get ready!”
Thank you to our fantastic SAC, SAC Captain, Anna D, Allard ‘22 and Ms Ramsay; this whole week would not have been possible without you. Also, special thanks to the Grad Council and Phillip A, Rogers ‘22 for organizing Airband!
