Attention Seniors:  The results of Friday’s Halloween Costume Contest are in.  There was a tie for second place and the winners were Noel Malis as Mavis from Hotel Transylvania and Rose Boley as Victor Van Dort from Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride.  These students will both be receiving a senior t-shirt when they arrive in December.  Winners, please see Mrs. Perry in room 313 to discuss sizes.  The first-place winner was, drum roll please, Alyssa Thiel who was Loki from Marvel’s Loki.  Alyssa has won a complimentary ticket to the Senior Banquet on the Gateway Clipper on May 27th.  Congratulations to our winners and everyone who participated.  You all did a great job and made Friday a great day here at NASH!
