Instead of our usual patio games and Halloween parties we all participated in some Covid-Friendly alternatives. In first of ESO we had a great time carving and decorating pumpkins for the Jack-O-Lantern Contest. And both teachers and students dressed up in some incredible costumes (without accessories and WITH masks). We saw werewolves, and skulls, zombies, vampires, witches, even Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction made an appearance… and rumor has it that the Cookie Monster may have stolen some cookies from the Alkor kitchens as well…. But that remains to be confirmed. All in all we had a great time celebrating this year as always! |

In the United StatesBack home (for some of our American Language Assistants) Halloween was celebrated very creatively this year with families across the country, participating in entirely new Halloween traditions such as “Yeet the Treats”*** or “Candy Slides” like this one below that my dad back in Boston made for the neighborhood kids. <3 |
***WHAT DOES YEET MEAN? (a helpful definition for everybody over the age of 15): Yeet is an exclamation of excitement, approval, surprise, or all-around energy, often as issued when doing a dance move or throwing something. |
