On Halloween, Jonathan Law’s National Honor Society sponsored a costume contest celebrating Bobo, Principal Thompson’s dog’s fifth birthday. 

It was $2 per person to enter the contest with the following categories: Best Female, Best Male, and Best Group. The National Honor Society raised $100 from the entries. 

“The National Honor Society is going to donate all the money we raised to a local animal shelter,” said Senior NHS President Morgan Taylor. “We will be going to the store and buying as much pet food and toys as possible.”

The 15-member NHS voted on the winners for each category. Costume entries included a dinosaur, Pac-Man, and scarecrows, along with many other creative ideas. 

The winners for Best Female and Best Male were Victoria Deluca and Neal DiBlase. The winners Best Group were and Joe Glorioso/Kailey Smith. 

“It feels very good to win the contest,” Glorioso said. “I thought we had a good idea.”

DiBlase was dressed up as the classic American man- Uncle Sam. 

“I actually got the idea for my costume from a really old Halloween photo of when I was still a baby dressed as Uncle Sam,” said DiBlase. “I’m happy that people appreciated the costume.” 

Deluca, transformed herself into a scary clown. The attention to detail in her costume put her far above the competition.

Glorioso and Smith dressed up as Steve and Robin from Stranger Things Season Three. 

“We looked at shows and realized we both enjoyed Stranger Things and we came to a consensus of doing Steve and Robin,” Smith said. “The inspiration was from how much the characters spent together and it relating to Joe and I.” 

The National Honor Society is a volunteer based organization, which has four pillars all members must encompass: Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. 

“We usually switch the organization that we donate the money to each year,” NHS Advisor Ms. Turcotte said. “Since it was in honor of Bobo’s birthday this year, we decided to donate food to a local shelter.”
