Getting into the spirit of Halloween, art students constructed ‘spooky houses’ out of edible sweets. Teachers voted based on four categories for the Halloween treats, and Erin Keith, Carson Freeman, Grace Kelly, Will Barton, and Diesel Camp took the grand prize, Best Design and Attention to Theme.

“Last year was our first year, and we did it again this year,” art teacher Tanya Kosla said. “The teachers asked for it again, so we are going to try and keep this tradition up.”

Making only their second debut at Argyle this year, the spooky houses will likely sweeten up the halls for many years to come.

It’s just a good time,” Kosla said.
