Have you heard about the trunk or treat event that happened Friday, October 25th at the Renton Memorial stadium? Plenty of people attended.
On Friday, October 25th, Lindbergh High School hosted an event for all ages who wanted to go trunk or treating. Karina Mccray, the Asb Secretary, said “we basically just wanted to bring people together–or bring an activity to the Renton community.”
Lyric Ancheta, who’s the class of 2025 President, stated it seemed to be a “fun opportunity” and overall this will be a “good experience for people to get to know each other.” Karina agreed and chimed in, “it’s a good thing with all the games available and the fun costumes.”
Staff member, Mr. Hall, paraeducator, shared his thoughts and agreed this was a good thing. He stated, “We live in different times than before, it’s not as safe as before. This experience is a good way to finally bring our community together in a safe environment.”
Sophia Pham, a 10th grade student at Lindbergh High School, claimed this was “a good thing for the community–and I really like candy…so I’m going.” Isaiah Hernandez spoke about his thoughts. He said “cool ‘cause you get to meet new people and get candy.”
Maria Ocon stated “the trunk or treat was a great way to bring the community together without having parents who couldn’t afford to pay an entrance fee, bring their families to have fun for free. After attending, I’d want to attend similar functions because I got to see our community all together and happy.”
Helena Do and Solomon Sanders both agreed that this was a good thing for our school and its community. “Not many people come together anymore, so yeah, this is a good thing. We both tried to attend but we were busy. Seemed fun though!”
Tracy Lam, a 10th grade student, stated “it seemed fun because it’s for all ages. But, it’s really only advertised to our school, not our community as a whole–Like, I’ve really only seen our school’s students and their families attending. But it seemed fun!”
Jazz Ancheta, class of 2027 President, and Judy Huynh, Health Occupations Students of America’s Vice President Assistant, explained how they were enjoying volunteering and getting to know everyone. Jazz stated, “It’s getting more people involved; more events and more activities means more people being open to the community.” Judy agreed.
Volunteers and staff continued handing out candy before the LHS football game started. This event was successful and hopefully LHS can organize more community events, like this one, and more people could attend.
