Trunk or Treat
Trunk or treat is fun. It has candy, cool decorations and people have cool costumes with fake blood and makeup. It also has candy like Starburst, chocolate and more. You can go with your friend and family, and you can see your old teachers. If you don't like some of the candy, that's ok because there is more candy you can choose from. If you have too much you can share with your friends and family. That's why I love trunk or treat.

Pink Out
It was pink out day. Everyone was in pink because it was breast cancer awareness day. That day is for people who have died from Breast cancer. Breast cancer is a disease that causes bad cells in your breast. We honored the people that had that disease.

The fun run was so cool. We got to hang out with our friends, The mascot from Chuck E Cheese was there. The school raised over $17,000. There was music. There were cheerleaders. My class won a prize. We are getting pizza. It was fun!

Spirit Week
The spirit week was fun. I hope everyone enjoyed it. Most people dressed as their Halloween costume, even the cheerleaders were dressing up. On Friday it was dress up as a book character. A lot of students dressed up! I think it was because they wanted to wear their Halloween costumes. I also dressed up because I wanted to match my friend.
