The document describes how Halloween is celebrated at lyceum N.M. Spataru in both classes and larger assemblies. Due to some parental concerns, the school now calls the events "Autumn Parties" but they maintain Halloween elements and costumes. Students participate in games, dances, singing, storytelling and crafts with an English language focus. Photos show characters from Russian fairy tales, students performing tasks, singing, dancing, displaying jack-o-lanterns, acting out stories with different genres and endings, playing games and preparing for a final dance number. Older students also organize their own celebrations and contests centered around Halloween traditions and themes.
