There is nothing that anyone enjoys more than dressing up and getting candy during Halloween. This past weekend on Saturday, October 30th, the Kellenberg family had a scary good time at the Firebird Fall Festival. The festival was a way for families to be able to have a fun night while also welcoming them onto campus and introducing them to Kellenberg’s student life.
The initial plan for the evening was for students to be outside in the parking lot, trunk or treating, and playing Halloween-themed games. However, the weather had other plans. The event was moved into the gymnasium and cafeteria where the senior volunteers, dressed as various animals, gave out candy to the attendees. But the fun did not end there – various games, pumpkin painting, a family photo booth, and other creative activities kept guests entertained for the night.
Mr. James O’Brien shared, “We had a small expectation for the event but about 1,053 people wound up attending.” There was even a strong alumni presence at the festival, showing the lasting bond created within the Kellenberg Family.
This Halloween’s Fall Festival was one enjoyed by the Kellenberg Family collecting candy and making memories at the school that never sleeps.
