Ferris High School Hosts Trick-or-Treating for Preschoolers
Preschoolers visited each classroom during Ferris High School’s annual Halloween tradition.
At Ferris High School in Spokane, a Halloween custom dating back about two decades brought preschoolers into classrooms during the morning. The children collected treats room by room, accompanied by high school students who led the way and encouraged them as they practiced making their requests.
The event grows out of Ferris High School’s early childhood education class. Its group includes 30 high schoolers and 24 preschoolers. On the regular schedule, the preschool portion meets for two hours per day on four days each week, giving the older students recurring, hands-on time with young children.
For seniors Maeli Dean and Destiny Seaman, the class offers more than a festive morning. Dean described time with the children as a welcome break from demanding classes. Seaman said the experience is preparing her for a career in education by teaching her to respond under pressure and adjust her approach to a child’s immediate needs. The Halloween rounds ended with the preschoolers taking full buckets home.
- 30 high schoolers participate with 24 preschoolers.
