Students in Technical Theater and Medical Skills haunted the halls with scary zombie and wound makeup.

To celebrate and prepare for the spooky season, the theater and medical crew practice their art and anatomy skills by putting together fake wounds and gore.

Students in Medical Skills and Services’ first period talk about why doing these wound practices prepare them for the real world.

Ka’marrion Getter (Sr.) says, “It depends. If someone gets [hurt], you’ve got to understand what’s going on. Understanding and recognizing wounds helps you in future events.”

“You learn about types of wounds and how to treat them,” states Riley Baker (Sr.).

Additionally, students in the Technical Theater class made zombies with edible blood, gashes, and wounds.

Elle Le (Fr.) said this project “helps me improve my makeup skills for shows.”

Not only does it improve makeup skills, but Ethan McRoberts (So.) says, “It’s fun and a great activity for Halloween.”

Medical Skills Teacher April Thornton sent out an email warning staff of the project: "Beware, foolish mortals! Spooky season has officially arrived, and our Medical Skills students are deep into first aid and Wound Week."

She went on to say that these students couldn't wait to give us a "harmless fright" in the hallways. To clarify, she also included a quick safety and sanity check to always check for real injuries first but then be aware of "hitchhiking ghosts" from students participating in the project.
