Creepy Kickball
We all know that Halloween is day for embracing our imaginations and letting them run wild. Whether a bit of playful spookiness or a turn to the whimsical and silly, the creative event combined the thrill of Halloween, a supportive and safe environment, and some old-fashioned fun!
Mount Prospect Academy students and faculty who participated in this event were excited for a break from the usual routines of life to share a few hours of food, outdoor casual physical competition, and/or to simply be a spectator at the event.
No one would doubt there is something truly enjoyably odd about watching a dinosaur, or ghoul, or a downhill skier play kickball!
At Mount Prospect Academy events such as this create an authenticate sense of belonging by participating in something larger than oneself, or even the MPA family.
Joining in the worldwide celebration of Halloween is as “normal” (sort of) as it gets!
With Mount Prospect Academy Faculty eagerly joining in dressing-up, students are reminded that we are all beings who seek connection and togetherness – sometimes a temporary but deeply satisfying escape from our everyday life is fully acceptable.
