KENNETT Y: Getting into the holiday

The Kennett Y went all out for Halloween this year, with lots of decorations, costumed staff and kids' parties. One of my instructors placed what looked like a severed foot strategically at the doorway to her classroom. And a giant black spider loomed over the lobby like something out of a Steven King horror novel. The mother of one toddler told me that her son was at first terrified of the arachnid -- but then was just as upset when they took it down.
