▶ A Day of Festivities and Giving

Teachers and staff joined in the fun, dressing up in imaginative Halloween costumes that delighted students of all ages. The event also featured a meaningful charitable component, as participants contributed a KRW 3,000 donation to support the AFM-Telethon.

A highlight of the day was the Halloween-themed photo booth organized by Grade 11 students.

Students from all grades enjoyed taking memorable pictures, further enhancing the festive atmosphere.
