Halloween Decorations

This past weekend every hall in each building was decorated for Halloween. I went through different buildings to see what everyone had done to decorate and I was very impressed with everyone’s ideas. The first floor of Founders Hall was probably the best. I would never think of them as artistic but they pulled through by making a haunted house in their hallway. They made a cave and they completely turned off the lights in the hallway. The first thought I had when I first saw it was that it was a really cool idea. They made a cave out of limited resources and created the best hallway for the decoration contest. Aside from the cool decorations, they made a complete maze out of their hallways. Like I said before, they had limited resources to use but they still managed to make a maze within the cave. When the lights were on, I thought the cave looked even cooler. Everything seemed perfectly symmetrical and the maze was truly confusing. I never would have thought of the boys being able to put together the best decorated hallway.
My second favorite decorated hallway was the girls’ floor. I thought their ideas were cute because they had put up blue paper on all of the lights to make the inside look like a night scene. They also made their own little bats out of brown paper and they hung off the ceiling. A lot of the girls on the floor are artists and I thought their ideas were great. They also hung up red pieces of paper that hung off the walls and they also created some sort of a maze throughout the hallway. When the kids came to the halls, they were very excited about the mazes.
All of the decorations that I saw made me think of how everyone came together to create cool haunted hallways for the little kids who were coming to trick or treat. I don’t know who won the hallways decoration contest but I thought all of the ideas were pretty cool. Everyone worked together to make the scariest hallways they could create. Some people were actual artists and others were just there to help but I thought it was amazing how people contributed and put together all of their artistic skills. I don’t think I would be able to help in the hallway decorating contest just because I am not very artistic when it comes to little resources and Halloween decorations. But all in all, the weekend turned out successful for the little kids and I loved the decorations.
