Kisa Rozenbaoum ’18, Gemma Brand-Wolf ’18 and Sydney Shintani ’18 pose with their pumpkin before the competition. “I like that I can get together with people in my grade and we combine all our ideas to create something really creative,” Dominque Cadenas ’19, who worked on the freshman pumpkin, said.

The sophomore’s finished “Octopumpkin.” “It’s very interesting to look at all the other grades and see their ideas,” Sydney Shintani ’18 said. “It’s hard and all the grades came up with great ideas.”

Students promote a Halloween related community service opportunity. Through trick-or-treat for UNICEF, students collect money that would help people in need.

The fountain in the courtyard is decorated for the celebrations. “I love to to see my typical Archer girls that I see everyday in uniform suddenly transformed,” Theresa Dahlin, sixth grade teacher and Director of Community Service, said.
