About this Event

A Halloween Party & Haunted House Experience

Get ready to enter the Upside Down!

JEAP invites our school community to one of our biggest events of the year! Join us for an afternoon filled with Halloween fun, music, activities, costumes, treats, and our student-powered haunted house experience:

👹 STRANGER DEMONS: BATTLE IN THE UPSIDE DOWN

Our haunted house brings together the eerie world of Stranger Things with demon-hunting inspired thrills for an original JEAP Halloween experience.

Students from Grades 3–5 auditioned to become part of our haunted house cast and have been working with the JEAP team to bring the experience to life. Guests will encounter characters including:

👹 Demogorgons
👻 Ghosts
🪆 Creepy Dolls
😈 Possessed Students
🔦 Lost Children
🪞 Mirror Demons
🕷️ Vecnas

Expect creepy characters, jump scares, special scenes, and plenty of Halloween surprises!

👻 WHAT TO EXPECT

This is more than just a haunted house!

Families can come together for an afternoon of Halloween fun featuring our student haunted house, costumes, music, activities, treats, and other spooky surprises throughout the event.

Our haunted house is being created with elementary-aged participants and families in mind. However, it will include dark spaces, spooky characters, jump scares, loud sounds, and other Halloween effects that may be frightening for some younger children.

Parents and guardians should use their discretion when deciding whether their child should enter the haunted house.

🧟 HAUNTED HOUSE CAST

One of the most exciting parts of this year's event is that our students aren't just attending—they're helping bring it to life!

Our Grades 3–5 haunted house actors have been cast and are rehearsing their characters and scenes leading up to the big day.

Haunted house rehearsals are scheduled separately from Eagle Extras so that participation does not interfere with students' Eagle Extras classes.

🎭 COSTUMES

Costumes are encouraged!

Come dressed in your Halloween best and ready to celebrate. Costumes should remain appropriate for a school and family environment.

For everyone's safety, costume accessories or props that could be mistaken for real weapons should not be brought to the event.

⚠️ IMPORTANT FAMILY INFORMATION

This is a JEAP-sponsored community event.

Children must remain under the supervision of their parent/guardian or responsible adult unless they are participating as an approved JEAP student actor or volunteer under staff supervision.

Purchasing a ticket does not enroll a child in JEAP's before-care, aftercare, or Eagle Extras programs.

Please follow all event-day instructions from JEAP staff and volunteers.

🕸️ ENTER IF YOU DARE...
