St. John’s Gets in the Halloween Spirit
Posted on October 27, 2017
FAR ROCKAWAY, 2017—Friday, October 27, 2017, St. John’s Episcopal Hospital hosted a Halloween event for local school children. Classes from Lucille Rose Daycare and Hebrew Kindergarten, both of Far Rockaway visited the hospital to trick-or-treat, pick pumpkins to bring home, and judge the staff pumpkin decorating contest. The students arrived dressed as superheroes, princesses, police officers, and firefighters.
The departments of St. John’s were also full of Halloween spirit today, which was shown through their amazing decorated pumpkins. Our display featured a variety of decorated pumpkins ranging from Pennywise the clown to beloved childhood character Peppa Pig. Mr. Gerard Walsh, Mr. Steve Guido, along with members of the staff enjoyed giving out candy and other treats to the student visitors.
“We’re excited to be able to provide this fun event for children in the community,” said Gerard Walsh, CEO. “Seeing the children’s excitement for Halloween makes this event enjoyable for the entire staff of the hospital.”
