Halloween at Sullivan Heights Secondary

Halloween at Sullivan Heights Secondary

 

             Halloween at Sullivan heights secondary is always a fun time, because everyone in the school gets a chance to dress up as whatever they like. They can be the scariest monster or the nicest creature, but whatever it is, the costumes are always amazing and never cease to impress. Last year, one of the most amazing costumes were the fifty-two deck of cards done by the Grads. It was imaginative and very well done since there were 52 Grads, each one card from the deck. They tried out for the annual Halloween fashion show last year, and one first place. Even the school staff has a theme for their costumes, like last year the science teachers dressed up as characters from Star Wars. This year everyone is hurriedly getting their costumes ready and hoping to win first place on this upcoming Thursday at the fashion show, which is being held at lunch time. I intend to win first place myself, with some friends. We are all going as different Batman characters, and I am being the Riddler.

 

The picture above is of the science teachers last year who all dressed up as characters from Star Wars.

 

 

              This year at Sullivan we are also promoting the Halloween candy grams again! They started selling last Thursday, with bag sizes from small to large. Last year they sold so fast they ran out of stock two days before they were supposed to. Students can buy them at the hub during lunchtime and they can leave their, or their friend's fourth period classroom and teacher name. It will be a fun and tasty Halloween this year for sure.

Sulli's Annual Haunted Mansion

Sulli's Annual Haunted Mansion

 

 

                      Sullivan Heights Secondary's Theatre Department is hosting their annual Haunted Mansion from October 22 to 24th for those students in period three and four classes to let the students experience "a whole new level of fear." There have been multiple announcements made about the Haunted Mansion as well which I'm sure many of the students remember. The students who are in the theatre department have been working tirelessly to create the most terrifying of experiences in the Bell Centre at the school.

 

 

Last year the Haunted Mansion was created and held in the music room but this year the theatre department has decided to move it to the Bell Centre for a larger more terrifying Haunted Mansion II.

Many students are eagerly waiting for this thrilling occasion and are hoping that their teachers sign their classes up for this unforgettable, fun Halloween event. Last year the Haunted Mansion was a hit and since the theatre department has taken this project to the next level, it is sure to be twice the fun and horror. "The Haunted Mansion. Scared yet?"







Sulli's Global Issues' Mental Awareness Week

Sulli's Global Issues' Mental Awareness Week

             Sullivan Heights Secondary's Global Issues Club is to be hosting a Mental Health Awareness Week (or MHAW as some like to call it) starting from November 18th to the 22nd although these dates are not yet certain and may change. It has been postponed regarding to the last update for this post although the counsellers' presentation was still carried out on Wednesday November 13th during a Global Issues Club meeting. It was indeed very helpful and informative because they brought most of the mental awareness issues to every ones attention. Everyone in the school will be asked to participate by wearing certain colours; blue or green. These are the colours of the Canadian Mental Health Association. There will be many announcements made during the week to inform people about these issues at school and an assembly to inform the students about more of these issues and ways to get help. They will provide lots of information about different programs created to help and how to deal with them.

  

  

           The clubs members think it would be a good idea to let people know how to deal with these issues and how to support those who have them. Sulli's global issues club has come a long way with planning the Mental Health Awareness week. During this week we will be all about distributing ribbons that are the colour of the Mental Health Association symbol. The Global Issues club is looking forward to have everyone participate in this informative event.

Sullivan's Annual Terry Fox Run

Sullivan's Annual Terry Fox Run

Sulli's annual Terry Fox Run on Thursday, October 3rd at the school was yet again successful in raising money for donation to a charity that supports cancer patients. Many people participated with determination to do something for those who are diagnosed with cancer by giving money to the school office or to others collecting donations as they ran by. Inspired by Terry, and others that were or are diagnosed with cancer, they ran or walked to show their support.

 I ran a survey asking students about who they were running for. One student said, I ran for my dads step dad, my great grandmother, and my grandmother. lung cancer for my dads step dad and my grandmother who had once been diagnosed with skin cancer. Another student told me he was running for his grandpa who had been diagnosed with eye cancer. My classmate had also said she had donated five dollars and wished she would have donated more. Overall this years run had been successful in every way. The school was able to collect a lot of money to donate to the charity.
