Community encouraged to attend student-organized ‘Halloween Hustle’ party this Saturday

Students at the Roots School are inviting the community to participate in their spooktacular Halloween Hustle party, an event sure to create shrieks of delight just days before All Hallow’s Eve.

The Halloween Hustle takes place at St. Andrew’s Church at 60 Athabasca Street East on Saturday, Oct. 29, from 2 to 5 p.m. There will be various spine-tingling games to play and haunting music to enjoy. The youths will also be selling magical food, drinks and delicious treats.

This event will be wicked fun and should give residents an extra jolt of Halloween excitement before the big day itself.

What is Roots School?

Roots School is a pre-kindergarten to Grade 8 independent school in Moose Jaw in its first year. Students meet the provincial curriculum through hands-on projects and nature-based experiences. Their first major project is planning a community event that they have called The Halloween Hustle.

Students have been working on their English curriculum outcomes by writing advertisements and creating a marketing plan. For their math outcomes, they have had to create a budget and compare prices of local items.

Some students have explored graphic design, while some have chosen to learn coding to create Halloween computer games that will be featured at the event. 

The students are also learning to communicate with one another and to work together. They’ve taken care of everything for this event, including making all the phone calls, handling the bookings and making all the decisions.
