The Haunted Hallways of 2024

What are the haunted Hallways? The Haunted Hallways is a Halloween-themed event where the students and teachers of York Suburban decorate their doors and hallways and hand out candy to all the trick-or-treaters. Mrs. Oathout runs the NHS (National Honors Society), which coordinates this event with her officers Grace Connolly, Sophia Scarlet, and Aslynn Delridge. 

The Haunted Hallways event ran on Tuesday, October 29th from 6-7 pm. Many clubs decorated hallways and doors including, but not limited to Student Council, Model UN, NAHS, FCCLA, Mini-Thon, Hope Squad, French Honor Society, GSA, Spanish Honor Society, Science Honor Society, TSA, Puzzle Partners & Diversity and Activism. 

Some of the themes these clubs came up with were Founding Fathers by Model UN, Bluey by Student Council, M&Ms by FCCLA, Shine Bright Like a Diamond by Mini-Thon, Charlie Brown the Great Pumpkin by NAHS, Beach Barbies by Hope Squad, “Le Petit Prince” from St-Exupery by French Honors, Greek Mythology by GSA, Día de los Muertos by Spanish Honors, German Fairy Tales & Legends by German Honors, Mad Scientists by Science Honors, Wall-E by TSA, Pumpkin Patch by Puzzle Partners, and Coco by Activism & Diversity Club.

When in an interview with Mrs. Fornadel, the National Arts Honor Society’s advisor, I asked if she thought the students enjoyed the Haunted Hallways, her answer was,“Yes, I think they do. I think it makes the students feel like kids again, being able to hand out treats to the little children of York Suburban.” Ms.. Reider, one of the Mini-thon’s advisors comments, “I think the YS younger students enjoy this event, and the YS high school students enjoy dressing up.” After speaking with Niyah Peterkin, a student asking the same question, she responded, “Yes, this is an event I enjoy because I like seeing all the effort and different spins each club and group put into it.” Both perspectives: teachers and students seem to enjoy putting on the Haunted Hallways. These teachers and students worked together to create a fun & entertaining night for the families of YS to enjoy. 

Many clubs and groups put a significant amount of effort into making this event, and spend much of their own time preparing everything. Thank you to all the students and teachers who put the effort into making this event possible!
