This year, Costume Day was a wonderland full of sensational looks from movies, books and even real life. Seniors dressed up in any costume imaginable, flooding the school with colorfully creative characters and animals. Despite the restrictions that the pandemic placed on people, students, both remote and hybrid, were able to experience dressing up as their favorite characters for their classmates to see.

“My friends and I dressed up as characters from "Monsters Inc." We had to make our costumes, so we had a lot of fun deciding what items to buy that would best fit our respective characters. People quickly recognized our costumes and complemented us. Even though it wasn’t a typical senior week or costume day, the overall experience was awesome, and I’m just happy that we had the chance to partake in it,” said senior Evita George.

“My friends and I had a great time during Costume Day! It was fun to dress up as characters from one of my favorite childhood movies, "Monsters Inc." and take pictures! It felt like a normal senior year for once because we got to partake in a senior activity that all previous students have done as well. Some of my friends come into school Hybrid day B, so I was upset that we couldn’t all be together, but it was still fun to see pictures of their outfits. I’m grateful that we all got to dress up,” said senior Riya Joseph.
