Positives:

Congratulations to all students who had their artwork displayed in the City-Wide Open Studios this past weekend! Photography, sculpture, graphic design, and other fantastic medias were up for public viewing. Hope to see them there next year too.

Our football team received the Elm City trophy for the fourth consecutive season this past weekend! They defeated Southern Connecticut State University Friday, Oct. 25, with a score of 40-21. (And the game wasn’t even on our own turf, now that’s impressive!)

Negatives:

Last week I wrote my Charger Battery outdoors, wearing a dress, and needless to say, this past week has been anything but dress-weather. It’s been a game of “How many layers can I wear so I don’t freeze, but am still able to walk around in?” 40 degree weather already? That is quite unfortunate.

Not being able to trick-or-treat for Halloween this year is a bummer. I don’t know about you, but free candy is more enticing that dressing up in hardly any clothing and going downtown with other people who are also dressed in hardly any clothing. I was always the person who trick or treated with their sibling up until college… what beats free Kit Kats?

Charger Battery:

Now this campus is really feeling like Halloween, there are trips and events galore! Friday SCOPE sponsored a trip to the Lake Compounce Haunted Graveyard and Sunday was the Trail of Terror trip. There is also a trip to Salem Massachusetts hosted by PIRO. Saturday night a famous ghost hunter came to present in Dodds Theater, and took students on a ghost hunt. SCOPE also had pumpkin carving and horror movie showings this week. Keep your eye out on Charger Connection for more activities; if you don’t make it for one, there are at least 10 others!
