This Halloween the halls of Holy Trinity were filled with both monstrous and hilarious

costumes from head to toe. From Darla of “Finding Nemo” to dead, gory school girls, Holy

Trinity truly showed spirit this Hallows’ Eve.

Once again students crowded the halls with classic and creative costume ideas.

Kassandra Bot, winner of this year’s “Best Student Costume,” decided to go as Darla Sherman,

the crazy 8 year-old fish killer of the classic Disney movie “Finding Nemo.” Kassandra had

decided on the costume idea when her friend came up with it and passed it along to Kassandra.

Within a week Kassandra had her costume planned out. Kassandra’s final remarks were

“FISHY, FISHY, FISHY!”

All grades happily participated in the day’s activities, showing great spirit! Kayla Rach,

grade 10, went as Mario while her boyfriend accompanied her as her Luigi. Having this idea

planned for months, she said, “We were looking for something fun that we could both do which

kids could see and laugh!”

There were also some gory looking students dressed up in their most gruesome attire

for Holy Trinity’s Haunted House, which caused screaming and terror. Valeria Granda and

Veronique Chesterfield, two of the characters of the Haunted House, told us, “We put so much

effort into it so every year is super great!We have so much more creative things than last

year’s!” The Haunted House truly was terrifying and definitely made people run for their lives!

Students weren’t the only ones with Halloween spirit! Teachers and staff of Holy Trinity

proudly dressed up with their wacky attire. Ms. Bracco, Ms. Di Diodato, Ms. Amato, and Mr.

Ryan dressed up as the “Grammar Police” – giving out tickets to anyone and everyone who

defied the laws of grammar! They also won this year’s “Best Group Costume”; no surprise there!

Our principal, Mrs. O’Grady, also showed amazing spirit with her mad scientist costume.

When asked what her inspiration was she said, “I do have a bit of a science background, so a

mad scientist comes naturally!” Mrs. O’Grady shared that the costume was a very last minute

idea since she wanted to participate in the wonderful and spooky tradition of dressing up. We

applaud her on her creativity!

Holy Trinity did not disappoint this year. With enthusiastic students and overflowing

spirit, Halloween at Holy Trinity truly was a treat!

On Thursday October 29th, HT’s Free the Children hosted their first ever movie night. It is estimated that 50 people gathered to watch the movie Halloweentown to get in the holiday spirit.  Although the event was free to attend, non-perishable food items could be donated upon arriving.  In addition, snacks, such as cookies, pizza, and popcorn were available for purchase, allowing everyone to satisfy their tooth, whether sweet or savoury! All food donations will be sent to Oakville's Fareshare Food Bank or the Good Shepherd Foodbank in Hamilton, and funds from the event will help HT build a school in Haiti, where an earthquake destroyed over 4000 schools in 2010.

Grade 11 student Rachael Zerafa shared her thoughts regarding the event: “It was really nice to relax with friends while supporting a great cause.  I had so much fun!”
             Thank you to everyone who came out to the event.  Keep your eyes open for future events and let’s make a change, HT!

Titan Costumes

Whether you’re going all out for Halloween this year, or going for a simpler look, Holy Trinity is filled with spirited students already gathering ideas for this spooky holiday. When asked what costumes they’d be exhibiting this Halloween, Julia Mokren, grade 11, said “I’m going to be a ballerina, because I’m getting a matching costume with my dog, Maya!” Matching costumes are always a cute and go-to choice for friends, family and pets!

Grace Housden, grade 11, decided “A cheerleader, since I’ve already been a cat!” Trying new things is always great, why not start with costumes?

Katie Matheson Green, grade 9, said “A baseball player!” She plays baseball in real life-great idea using items you already have!

Joaquin Ponce, grade 9, said “A football player, since I already have the uniform!”

There are quite a variety of choices for your Halloween costume this year. Other popular ideas were cats, zombies, and other sports players!  Keep an eye out for crazy Halloween costumes within the Holy Trinity halls. We can’t wait to see what you have come up with this Halloween!
