In one sense, Halloween this year felt like a normal day… everyone wearing masks. Although we, at GWCS, could not celebrate many of our Halloween traditions due to social distancing, we may have stumbled upon a few new traditions to continue in the future! Traditional, just not as cozy, pumpkin carving is always our kickoff activity followed by an afternoon of scary movies. The Halloween costume contest via Teams was a huge success. In-person students as well as remote students participated by posting a photo on Teams and then voting for three costume categories. See results below. As Plato once suggested, “necessity is the mother of invention”. It was absolutely necessary that GWCS celebrate Halloween and with the creative juices flowing, supportive and talented students invented the first ever GWCS Halloween Performance Assembly!

HALLOWEEN PERFORMANCE ASSEMBLY:
While students and teachers performed out in front of the school, remote students at home and in-person students inside the school were able to stream the performances. It worked and it was wonderful to see so many coyotes sharing their passions, talents, and humor with the whole school.
