EOPS students will be hosting a Halloween celebration at the Liberal Arts Campus where students can RSVP to take part in the event to earn free prizes.
Halloween decorations from ghouls to tombstones have been placed all around the garden area of the LAC A Building courtyard in preparation of the EOPS Halloween party happening tomorrow from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Only EOPS, CARE and NextUp students can set up their reservation, they’ll be the only ones to take part in the Halloween event.
“We’ll be giving out free meal cards, food, school supplies and there will be seats for students as well,” EOPS help desk assistant Alana Clanton said.
Dress up is not required but is greatly encouraged.
Jason Fronkee runs the Coast Party Rental business and was decorating a part of the A Building corridor with two statues and a tall black curtain.
“Right here we’re doing a photo opportunity with a werewolf and a coffin. We’re gonna put a black and red Long Beach City College banner to kind of match and so you can take a photo with a werewolf,” Fronkee said.
“We do all the graduations at Vets Stadium, and then we do a couple Luau’s for the Polynesian club every summer… we’ve done a fourth of july event of some sorts.”
Psychology major Brisa De Dios was not sure what the decorations were for but shared what she thought about them being set up around the A Building.
“I feel like many students feel uncomfortable seeing these but, I mean, the school is trying to show their spirit for Halloween but other than that, I think there’s nothing wrong with it,” Dios said.
Criminal Justice Major Daja Dauer took pictures of one of the Halloween statues around the fountain in the center of the building courtyard.
“I think they’re dope, I think they’re real cool,” Dauer said.
“Well, when I first walked to that one over there, I kind of thought it was real, they look kind of real… I think they’re really well, well done. I’m not sure what’s supposed to happen with them but possibly just for decoration just because tomorrow is Halloween.”
