Junior Arial Hong collects candy from a teacher’s classroom during Palo Alto High School’s Trick-or-Treat activity during lunch on Friday to promote Halloween spirit as well as the Mental Health Matters program. Many underclassmen have yet to experience spirit on Paly campus, including Halloween festivities. Freshman Clara Thestlemire said she appreciated the handout of stickers from the Wellness Center as well as being able to collect candy as an early Halloween treat. “Its been fun,” Thestelmire said. “The classes had a lot of candy, and we also just got [mental health] stickers and quotes, its really good to have these things happening on campus.”

Freshman class president Julian Hong has experience leading his sports team, while freshman vice president Kennedy Do said she has a long experience with her passion for leadership. Hong and Do said they hope to welcome the freshman class to in-person sports events and competitions. Do said she tried to acquaint herself with more freshmen in her classes and during orientation during the first weeks of school so that more people would know her during the election. “I went to JLS so most of the people who were there are currently at Gunn,” Do said. “I didn’t know that many people who weren’t here so it was a really nice opportunity for me to get to know everyone in my grade.”
