Sherry Davis, a third grade teacher, shared how she came up with the idea. " I was mow-ing my lawn and I hit a branch and a bunch of apples fell on my head. I thought to myself what could I do with these ap-ples because I had tons of them. I remembered when I was a little girl that my mother was a den leader in Scouts and they had made Scouts or something with apple heads. It was Hal-loween time, so I thought we ought to make monsters out of the apple heads," she stated. The hardest part of the project for the students was peeling the apples. Each stu-dent created their own face. Sherry and her husband made little stands for each monster which the students sanded and painted. Once the students finished their heads, they stuck their apples on the stands to dry and shrivel up. Prior to the art project the students decided what they wanted their monster to look like. After the apples were dry, which took about a week and a half, students dressed them with the help of their moms. Cumorah Havei made Frankenstein's bride. She de-signed it all by herself and admitted the hardest part was peeling the apple. Cody Nhal-la- n made Frankenstein's moth-er. For the costume, he made a black dress and got a pink cape. Cody enjoyed the project and commented on his monster, "I feel great about it." Each student created their own apple face. After the apples were dry, which took about a week and a half, students dressed them with the help of their moms.

"r , ...... ii in i 4 Callie Roberts, a student who loved the spook alley, beat her dad at a math game by adding two cards before her dad added them on the calcu-lator. Kerri Sperry, a mother, stated what she liked best, "They're excited to come and they get to do math in the pro-cess of it. They're learning something and having a good time." Her son Matthew liked the maze in the spook alley. All in all, the spook alley was the children's favorite and the activity was a fun and cre-ative way to get children ex-cited about math and have the parents involved. Lindon Elementary held their anticipated Spooktacular Math Night on Friday, October 22. On the night of the event students came with their parents to the school where they re-ceived a passport. In each class-room, teachers had math games for their grade level. Students could play games in any room throughout the school. A stu-dent received one stamp if they played a math game by themselves, two stamps if they played a math game with a par-ent, and three stamps if they played a math game on their grade level with a parent. Once students had'twelve stamps they were eligible to go through the spook alley with their family. While students waited in line for their turn to go through the spook alley, they were giv-en popcorn and entertained by Cinderella, Wendy (from Peter Pan), Scarecrow (from Batman) and Darth Vader. The spook alley, which is quite an undertaking, took up half the gym, the stage and the room underneath the stage. Carol Dobyn began recruit-ing volunteers at Back to School Night. A committee was formed and they brainstormed together. As part of the planning stages, they mentally laid out the spook alley and then everyone picked an area they felt excited about. The committee began setting up the spook alley over Fall Break. There were seven sec-tions in all, a maze leading to the "Goblet of Fire", a Harry Potter room, a Snow White's Haunted Forest, Hansel and Gretel room, Little Miss Kuf-fe- t and the Deadly Spider room, a graveyard, and a Night at the Museum room. Even Princi-pal Theler got in on the fun by heading up the graveyard this year. Black lights, fog, strobe lights and music were all added to create the desired effect. If the students wanted to go through the spook alley again, they had to fill another passport with twelve stamps by playing more math games. Jason Theler, a kid at heart, came up with the idea his first year as principal. Carol Dobyn volunteered and brought the idea to life. "She has done such a remarkable job that first year this instantly became big," stated Principal Theler. "The kids had a ball, the parents were amazed with the spook alley and everyone talks about it all year. Every year it is different. We want it to be scary enough that the sixth graders are a little nervous about going in but not so scary that the kindergartners would not want to participate," he added. Carol stated why she has volunteered to be in charge of this event the last six years. "I love it.," she said. "It's a lot of work but so much fun to do. I go a little crazy, but when the night comes, it's worth it. I love that the kids want to come and do it. It is the big thing they look forward to. I've consid-ered not doing it another year, but I can't tell the kids no," she admitted. Students played games in any room throughout the school and received one stamp if they played a math game by themselves, two stamps if they played a math game with a parent, and three stamps if they played a math game on their grade level with a parent.
