This year’s Halloween Costume Contest was filled with zombies and killers and Kravecses galore.

On Halloween, Law’s National Honor Society members sponsored their annual contest. The proceeds raised at the event benefited the Giving Tree.

“It was a great success,” said National Honor Society member Sofya Calvin. “It was a blast seeing all of the law community dressed up and in spirit.”

The contest raised over $140 for the Giving Tree. The Giving Tree will be placed in the lobby in December in conjunction with Bridges of Milford. On the tree are gift ideas that are on the Christmas lists of underprivileged children in the community.

The goal is to get people from the Law community to purchase at least one item from the tree. People give the gifts to the National Honor Society and members then wrap and deliver the gifts to the families.

If there are still toys that have not been purchased at the end of the month, the National Honor Society will use the funds raised by the Costume Contest to buy the remaining gifts.

Members of the National Honor Society said that the contest went swimmingly; however, there is always room for improvement.

“In the future we could possibly add more categories to the costume contest, in addition to the four we have now,” said National Honor Society member Sravya Jaladanki.

National Honor Society members hope next year they could promote the Costume Contest more and have a big turnout just like their other events, like the Brain Bowl.

“Everything we do is purely for the community and not only that, but you also get the opportunity to see the direct impact of your services,” Calvin said. “We get the privilege of working with big organizations that make a huge difference in the world so the service we do is much more than just volunteering at a county fair or local school events.”

National Honor Society advisor Ms. Turcotte was very pleased with how the contest went and will continue to host the contest in the future

“(People) seem to enjoy it and we have fun as well,” Turcotte said.
