Students are looking forward to Sacred Hearts Academy Room Parents’ (SHARP) Board Halloween Fright Night on Oct. 30 from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m. The event was cancelled last year.

The Haunted House, a crowd favorite, will be in the Conference Room.

Board secretary Joy Oehlers said, “You won’t recognize it after the parent volunteers and the YMCA team transform the ordinary harmless-looking conference room into the most exciting Haunted House ever with scary surprises at every turn and corner – sounds, smells, sights and touch galore!”

Attendees can enjoy festive snacks at Treat Street, play games for prizes in Games Alley, and get glitter tattoos and balloon animal.

Cash prizes ranging from 20 to 50 dollars will be awarded for the best costumes according to age groups and various categories as well as for the pumpkin carving and decorating contest (students and families must bring their own pumpkins).

In addition to Halloween festivities, Fright Night also offers a myriad of volunteer opportunities for junior high and high school students for community service hours.

Students can sign up to portray monsters in the Haunted House, thus creating fear in fellow classmates.

Students can also sign up to help at the Treat Street stands or assist with games in Games Alley.

Volunteers will be given free popcorn and shave ice.

A variety of food will be offered at Fright Night. Bento #1 includes hibachi teriyaki chicken, furikake rice, sesame noodles and vegetables. Bento #2 is a vegetarian option which comes with eggplant parmesan with angel hair pasta and garlic bread.

The bentos must be pre-ordered by Oct. 23 at http://bit.ly/shafrightnight. Bottled water and fruit drinks will be sold.
