On Halloween, my school does many things. They are really fun. Halloween is my favourite tradition.

First of all, one of the most fun thing my school does is a fundraiser. The school gives us a pledge sheet to raise money. The money we raise helps us get more school supplies. Last year my school purchased iPads, laptops and more. Every $30 raised we get a ticket for a chance to win Toronto raptors tickets or Toronto maple leaf tickets. If you raise more than $15 you can win a prize. Every year in school I got a prize. This year I raised $71.65. The school put the prizes on display.

Another fun thing my school does is a costume contest. I have never been in the costume contest before. In my class we vote for who has the best costume. Whoever gets the most votes goes to the costume contest. I hope I get chosen to go to the costume contest this year. I am going to be monster named Howleen wolf. She is from a show, a movie and she is a doll.

Lastly, we have a Spookathon. A Spookathon is when we have a dance in the gym. There is even a DJ and decorations. The kindergartens go first, then the primaries, then the juniors, then the intermediates. I enjoy myself at the Spookathon.

Can you believe we do this all in one day! I am looking forward to the Spookathon. What do you do at your school on Halloween?
