The Boardman High School staff had a get together for their children to bond and celebrate Halloween on Oct. 27.
Principal Cynthia Fernback organized the event. The staff met in the school’s cafeteria with their families for pizza and drinks. The families sat and talked to each other during their dinner. She, along with help from her staff, set up a photo area.
Fernback wanted the staff to come together as a staff and spend time together outside of work. She wanted a focus on the children, since the staff always shares pictures of their families, but never get to see each other’s families.
After they ate, the group moved over to the auditorium where they had a promenade for their children. Each family came on stage one-by-one after an introduction and posed with their children, as they do for prom. The promenade showcased the children of the staff and the costumes they wore. Pumpkins lined the front of the stage, which is where the name of the event came from.
The children got to trick-or-treat throughout the first floor of the school after the promenade. Fernback wanted to give a safe environment for trick-or-treating.
They had about 90 adults and 54 children at the event. The school has not done this event in the past.
