An im-pasta.” Funny and tasty! Claire Krob keeps it cheeky: “What did the ghost say when he had a bad day? Oh sheet.” And here comes the belly laugh from Senior Sloane Stevens: “How many beans does it take to make a bean pie? 239, because one more would be too-farty.” Whoa, beans and giggles combined! Juniors keep the spooky vibe alive. Skye Carl asks, “What’s a ghost’s least favorite room in a house? The living room.” And Ava Turek cleverly adds, “Why are elevator jokes so good? They work on so many levels.” Up and down with fun! Senior Ella Santacruz pulls out a science joke, “Why don’t scientists trust atoms? They make up everything.” A classic!

They don’t want to get a bad wrap.” “What’s the best lake to visit on Halloween? Lake Eerie.” “Why are mummies always stressed out? They can't unwind.” “Why don't vampires play baseball? Their bats keep flying away.” “Why can't you trust vampires? Because they're bat to the bone.” “What do ghosts like to watch on TV? Saturday Fright Live.” “Why did the zombie eat brains?
