| Ghouls Just Want To Have Fun!
Happy Halloween from St. Michael's! Our Jack-O'-Lantern Jubilee was a joyous success. Our Dragons sure do have a lot of Halloween spirit!
We are pleased to announce the winners of our Pumpkin Contest. With over 52 entries received, our Dragons amazed us with all of the creativity and enthusiasm that they put into their Jack-O'-Lanterns. Winners were selected by our Administrative team in a blind survey.
Our three winners (Most School Spirit, Silliest, and Spookiest) have all won St M spiritwear gift bags which will be delivered later this week. Congratulations!
- Most School Spirit: Berkley Hundley
- Silliest: Ivan Damevski
- Spookiest: Miller McLynn
Be sure to check out our Media Gallery for fun pics of the week's spooktacular festivities!
