Halloween is right around the corner, Skyloween took over the campus on Oct. 30. The event was held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Skyloween is an event that consists of many clubs on campus, games and activities for students, and also a fun celebration for Halloween. It’s a great way for students to get into the Halloween spirit and dress up in costumes. Students can also participate in fun activities along with their fellow classmates. Food and drinks were available for students to purchase, followed by free entertaining activities for those in attendance to participate in.

Besides just getting into the Halloween spirit, Skyloween also provides students with a great opportunity to join clubs on campus. Each club that participated had their own table filled with different activities and games for students to engage in, and win candy as their prize. In addition to free candy and treats, ASSC gave out free pizza to students in attendance. Along with games, there were flash mob performances done by the Dance Honors Society that students were able to watch.

The event allowed students to become aware of all the different clubs on campus and gave them the opportunity to sign up for any of them. While visiting each booth, students were able to meet and interact with members in each of the clubs that they were interested in and learn more about them.

Skyloween also provided students with an opportunity to mingle with friends, and make new ones by meeting new faces at each of the club booths they visited. The student government provided a free photo booth available to students at the event. They also provided accessories to dress you up in your picture. ASSC also put together a fun raffle for. Students who attended the event received a Skyloween passport. They had to visit each club, and participate in the games available at their booth to receive a stamp on their passport. There was a drawing every 15 minutes, so there was a total of 16 winners. Each lucky winner received a $15 gift card to the Skyline bookstore.

A big change to Skyloween this year, compared to last years, was the location. Last year, the event was held on the grassy area that is located behind Building 4. The location was accessible because it was in the Quad, which is right in the middle of the school. And because of the location change this year, there were a lot more students who attended.

“It’s a way better turn out and that’s our key goal is to see as many students and help out as many students and give as many students opportunities as we can,” Student Body President, Nicole Harris, said.

This location was also more organized because there was a lot more walkway space for students compared to last year’s location. Students were not limited to a small space and having it in the Quad made students more aware of the event.

“Last year most people stayed in one place and didn’t move around and explore,” LASO Vice President, Liliana Alarcon, said.

Alarcon added that, last year not many students realized where Skyloween was held because of the location it was at. So, having the event in the Quad this year was a great choice because it’s more spacious for students to walk around and not be confined in a small area. There is also a lot more students in the Quad, which draws more attention to the event.

“I like that it’s in the Quad because it’s different, it has more space and there’s more traffic going to the Quad,” Skyline student Judah Darwin said.

Nevertheless, this year’s Skyloween was a success especially to students who experienced it for the first time.

“I didn’t expect people to have so much Halloween spirit so I didn’t dress up, but now I’m definitely going to next year,” Skyline student, Elizabeth Lee, said.
