Bulldogs Go All Out for Halloween with Costumes, Contests, and Creativity

This popular, annual event at BLMS brought many surprises and much fun this year, with inflatable costumes, anime characters and teacher costumes throughout the building. 

Both lunches had the opportunity to choose their favorite costumes and vote on the final winner. 

Staff throughout the building were in their hallway themes: it was movie night in the C-wing and a chance for 8th grade teachers to copy their students in the D-wing.  Office staff were heroes in disguise - aren't they always!  Even Principal Coffin kept students guessing all day what her real super hero persona is!

We hope all our Bulldogs have a safe, fun and exciting Halloween evening!
