Besides this, staff and students around Eagle High are not short of their own traditions.
“We’ll take our bikes from Merrill Park and go to Boise State. Sometimes we park at Kristen Armstrong, and we ride,” said counselor Karen Evans. “We bike especially during the Fall because it’s not as hot and it’s beautiful.” Biking along the greenbelt is a popular fall tradition for many.
“I enjoy watching football games, that’s something I do. I also harvest my garden, just my vegetables,” said teacher Jennifer Foster. “I like to go on hikes, too.” Teachers and administrators around the fall time tend to spend their time with nature, to relax.
The most popular fall tradition, trick-or-treating, is enjoyed by many Eagle High students. They celebrate it by dressing up and going around neighborhoods knocking on doors and asking for candy.
“I just hang out with friends; I just go trick-or-treating.” Said junior Nathan Kendall, “I don’t dress up or anything, just for fun.” Although Eagle High students typically don’t dress up for Halloween anymore, they still celebrate the holiday.
In addition to Halloween, many Spanish students and the Spanish club celebrate El Dia De Los Muertos, which is a Mexican holiday like Halloween, but different in that it is a holiday to celebrate and honor the deceased.
