Jonathan Law’s National Honor Society hosted a Halloween costume contest on October 31. 

Every year, Law holds its annual costume contest to allow student to show their Halloween spirit and to raise money for charity. This year’s categories were Best Single Costume, Best Duo Costume, and Best Group Costume. 

“Since this is an annual event for NHS, we started planning the costume contest about a month in advance,” senior President Ike Opayemi said. “We created posters, flyers, and shared the message through the news as well as social media.”                   

The National Honor Society is a club at Law that hosts fundraisers, volunteers, and gets involved with the community. 

This year, the Halloween costume contest winners for Best Duo Costumes was Hailey Russo and Alani Velez. 

“I thought it would be fun,” Russo said. “We had this costume planned and why not just wear it to school and possibly win.”

The goal of the contest for NHS members was not only to celebrate Halloween, but also to have fun, be creative, and become a closer community. 

“My goals for my final year specifically for NHS would definitely consist of getting more involved within our community and making more of an impact than in previous years,” Opayemi said.

The Best Group Costume went to the science department dressing up “heavy metals.” Science teachers dressed up in rock and roll costumes with metal elements signs on their shirts.

“It was a group decision,” science teacher Mr. Koorejian said. “Making science fun and interesting – and possibly a future career”

Overall, the Halloween costume contest was fun and everyone enjoyed participating.
