Students Share Halloween Safety Tips Through Skits

Students in Shoreham-Wading River High School’s peer mentoring theater class helped younger students prepare for a safe and fun Halloween through an interactive series of skits at Miller Avenue School. 

The high school class brings together students who collaboratively to develop and perform skits that teach important Halloween safety practices. Through their performances, the high school students demonstrated street safety, the importance of having a parent or trusted adult check Halloween candy before eating it and proper trick-or-treating etiquette. 

The skits also introduced Miller Avenue students to the meaning behind different colored Halloween buckets, helping them better understand and support their peers. Teal buckets can indicate that a child has food allergies, blue buckets are used to raise awareness of autism and purple buckets can represent epilepsy awareness. 

By combining theater with practical lessons, the peer mentoring theater students are making Halloween safety education engaging and memorable while promoting kindness, understanding and inclusion throughout the school community.
