🎃 Green Acres Middle School Students Shine at the Boo Bash! 👻
On October 29, 2025, Green Acres Middle School’s exceptional students attended the Boo Bash at Woodlawn High School, an exciting event presented by the Birmingham City Schools Special Education Department. The celebration brought together students from across the district for a day of creativity, fun, and friendship.
From the moment they arrived, the atmosphere was buzzing with excitement. Tables were covered in bright orange and black decorations, and upbeat Halloween Dance music filled the gym. Students eagerly participated in a variety of hands-on art activities, designing colorful pumpkins, spooky masks, and festive Halloween crafts that showcased their creativity and individual style.
The day wasn’t all about crafts, though the dance floor quickly became the highlight of the event! Laughter and cheers echoed as students and teachers danced to their favorite tunes, enjoying the freedom to move, express themselves, and just have fun. Between songs, everyone refueled with snacks and treats, adding a delicious touch to an already joyful day.
Events like the Boo Bash not only provide a chance for students to celebrate the season but also foster inclusion, self-expression, and community connection. The smiles on the students’ faces told the whole story they truly had an awesome time!
