FUN FRIDAY: Night of Terror, October 22
Our first official Fun Friday trip of the year is here! Every October, we visit an area haunted house for an evening of fun Halloween scares. This year, we're going to be visiting NIGHT OF TERROR at Creamy Acres Farm in Mullica Hill, NJ.
The cost of this trip is $60. It includes admission to all 4 haunted houses at Creamy Acres Farm, bus transportation to and from the farm, pizza, and chaperoned supervision. Below you will fill out a Google Form to register.
Our scheduled time at the haunts is 6:30pm. Students will remain on campus after school on October 22 for a Halloween movie and some pizza. Then the bus will pick us up and take us to the farm. We expect to be back at Hill Top for pickup by 9:30pm.
Here's the link. You will also receive a direct link via Google Forms.

The Annual Spooktacular Halloween Sleepover is back!
This event for 5th-8th grade students will be held from 6 pm on Friday, October 29 through 9 am, Saturday, October 30. The evening will feature a campfire cookout for dinner (hot dogs, chips, and s'mores), games, spooky stories, a movie, and snacks galore. We will also serve breakfast (pancakes and cereal) in the morning.
Because we are still in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, we will be taking several precautions:
• We will do as much outside as possible, so students can distance and be comfortable unmasking if they wish.
• When we are inside, students (and faculty chaperones) will wear a mask.
• Students will be able to unmask for sleeping, but we will separate beyond 6ft and place air purifiers into our sleeping areas.
• If you would rather your student not spend the night, there is an option to pick up on the evening of Oct. 29 after the bulk of our activities.
If your student would like to attend, please complete the form here: Halloween Sleepover 2021
Contact Ms. Gargiulo, [email protected] or Mr. Cohen [email protected] with questions about the event.
