Halloween fun often centers around the youngest students, who love to dress up as princesses and superheroes. A spirit of playfulness need not end in middle school, however, as our 8th grade can attest. Late in the day last Friday, the middle schoolers trooped off to a secluded, shady spot in the Herring Run woods. Creaking branches and a light wind set a spooky mood as 8th grade performers recited passages from Edgar Allen Poe's famous poem "The Raven." Staged on a large stone that jutted out of the hillside, the drama was a one-of-a-kind treat that these students will remember for years. Many thanks to teacher Andy Bopp for making possible this imaginative Halloween drama.
