The students brought a variety of paints and mixed their own custom colors. “Instead of brushstrokes, we’re doing more dabbing, because it gives [a] better impression of tree foliage, rather than looking like actual brush strokes, because if we’re painting trees, we need it to look like trees,” Crawford said.](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/IMG_2397-1200x900.jpg)

When I was 9 I was asked by a creepy man if I wanted to travel to Halloween town. Which was one of my favorite movies when I was younger but I did not know it was not a real place. I answered yes and the man said “Okay I will take you there,Get in we would be there shortly!” I screamed and ran away then fell flat on my face about 10 feet away from the creepy man and he helped me up and said “You should be careful, you could get hurt.” then the man got in his car and drove away. He was really scary. Thinking about it know I do not really know what was going through that Mans mind.
