The RHS hallways were filled with Halloween spirit as costumed students, staff and families gathered for a morning of early trick-or-treating at the annual A-door-able Doors event on Saturday, Oct. 25.

A-door-able Doors offers a safe and inclusive way for children with special needs to enjoy trick-or-treating a week before Halloween. To prepare for the event, high school students from various clubs, sports teams and honor societies decorated classroom doors with creative, unique and festive themes.

“It’s really fun and I look forward to it every year,” said senior Joey Bosotina, a member of the football team. “This year we wore farm animals and last year we did superheroes.”

RHS alumna Meghan Dunne (’19) introduced the idea for the event during her junior year. Since its debut in 2018, the tradition has continued to grow, celebrating inclusion and Dunne’s vision.

“It’s one of my favorite events,” said senior Kathleen Saltz, a member of the Girls Lacrosse team. “Seeing how happy the kids get over the candy and decorations makes it worth it.”

Participating high school groups included the National Honor Society, National English Honor Society, National Spanish Honor Society, HOSA, Girls Ice Hockey, Girls Lacrosse, Football, Boys Soccer and Boys Volleyball, and many other clubs and teams school-wide.

“It was a lot of fun decorating the door before the event,” senior Boys Volleyball player Aeden Perez said. “We see it as a way to bond with the team.”

Now in its eighth year, the event continues to be a school-wide favorite and great way to embrace the spirit of the Rams community.
