Halloween Fun at PTE School

Halloween sure was fun last week at PTE School. So many students wore their Halloween costumes to class and everyone got the chance to go through the Haunted house that was so spoooooky! Thanks to the great work of Kris Janssen and Derek Schroder for putting it all together. It was frighteningly fantastic. Thanks also to Kelsey Noren, Mandalyn Unger, Kieran West, Erin Scheirer, Miranda Lowe and Andrew Vienberg and Witchiepoo Liz, for populating the Sinister Saan Studio.
