A Ghoulish Good Time
On October 31st, the school celebrated Halloween on campus. The first ever "Pumpkin Pageant" took place. Students and faculty dressed up to show their school spirit on this festive holiday.
The entirety of the student body, along with faculty and staff, gathered in the gym during FOCUS. The best costumes walked the runway while the rest of the students cheered on their sisters.
Twin Trouble
As the best costumes of each grade walked the pageant runway, seniors Ana and Lili Silveira showed off their spooky costume: the haunting twins from horror movie "The Shining."
"Ana and I have been planning this costume for a long time, and we felt it was perfect to do it for our last year," senior Lili Silveira said.
Once a Lourdes Girl, Always a Lourdes Girl
Team OLLA did not miss out on the festivities; the best costumes of faculty and staff walked the runway as well.
Faculty and alumni Mrs. Anie Flor '84, Mrs. Miriann Meyeringh '99, Mrs. Cristina Noriega '88, Mrs. Jennifer Martinez, and Ms. Alina Yaniz '04 nostalgically dressed as OLLA students in the school uniform and typical accessories.
THE DARLING DALMATIANS
For the freshman class' first OLLA Halloween, they graciously demonstrated school spirit. The freshman council assembled a costume that would include both its members and their moderators.
"The Freshman council truly showed their enthusiasm by planning this costume that would include everyone, even myself and Mrs. Caceres,” Mrs. Martica Castellanos said.
Spooky Squad
From individual costumes to an entire movie cast. Students from the 11th grade dressed as characters from the movie "Despicable Me."
“A girl in my focus came up with the idea of doing a group costume, so We thought doing ‘Despicable Me’ would be both funny and cute,” says junior Daniella Quijano. I loved the pumpkin pageant because it helped unite me and my classmates.”
