Many events took place in the month of October. First and foremost, Rachel’s Challenge was a huge event. On October 28, all of the high school students attended a very moving presentation made by Craig Scott, Rachel’s brother. Additionally, community members were invited to an after school event also presented by Craig Scott. About 400 community members attended the evening presentation.

The Halloween Haunted Hall was enjoyed by many community youngsters. Between 400-500 children took part in the yearly hauntings, which took place at the high school. In addition to journeying down the scary Haunted Hall, children decorated cookies, made Halloween crafts, enjoyed treats, and listened to spooky music. Proceeds from the event were given to the High School’s Student Help Fund, which provides clothing, blankets, lunch money, etc. to students in need.
