Friday, Oct. 29 marked the fifth and final day of the crazy and exciting CHS tradition known as Fall Spirit Week.

The theme of the day was Halloween costume, and the lunch event was the Halloween Costume Parade where students presented their costume to a panel of judges.

There were many notable costumes that earned points for their grade. 

The following costumes won five points for their grade: The Baby on Board costume won the funniest costume for the junior class, the Pop Quiz costume won the scariest costume for the sophomore class and the swan costume won the best couple/pair for the senior class. 

There were also 10-point costume categories: the Modern Princesses took home the most original award for the junior class, Peter Pan won the best group for the sophomore class, Karate won most effort for the senior class and Operation won most creative for the sophomores. 

 The junior class took the lead from Day One and never lost it. By the end of the week, the junior class won the entire Fall Spirit Week with a whopping 252 points, followed by the sophomore class with 204 points, the senior class with 199 points and the freshman class with 123 points. This was the Class of 2023’s first Fall Spirit Week win.

Keegan Foy of Wall, president of the junior class, was excited that her grade won Fall Spirit Week.

“We worked hard all week and had a lot of fun!” Foy said.

Class of 2023 advisor Sharyn O’Keefe shared her thoughts about the junior class’s win.

She said that the “best part being a class advisor during events like Spirit Week is being able to see the class bond and have a good time. Watching their reactions when they win is also a great feeling!”

Junior Hilary Garrett of Spring Lake Heights believes Fall Spirit Week is an integral part of the CHS experience.

“I think with all the stress that comes from going to CHS, having a week dedicated to dressing up and playing games is so important,” Garrett said.

A Halloween dance was scheduled to take place at the conclusion of Fall Spirit Week on Friday night, but it was rescheduled to Dec. 3 because of the expected nor’easter.
