On Saturday October 28th, Stefany Miranda, a senior at Sunlake High School, attended an event that the school hosted called Trick-or-Treat Around the Track. This event is where a bunch of clubs set up tables around Sunlake’s track to fascinate and hand out candy to children who live in the community. Stefany is the president of The National Science Honors Society and stated, “The club is informing everyone about how fun and interesting science is. We wanted to go ahead and show all the kids at Trick-or-Treat Around the Track by making slime.” Stefany showed the kids that science is not just math, but it is much more than that. She had a lot of excitement seeing all the children’s costumes. Nonetheless, she claimed it got a little overwhelming with how many kids crowded her station and how messy it got at times. Stefany was even dressed up herself “… as a pirate because it was the easiest thing I could find. A lot of kids had great costumes as well. My favorite one was a girl who dressed up as a teacher that works here.” She also saw a kid dressed up as Barbie who “…even had a box and everything.”
While volunteering, Stefany had a lot of help from about four or five others students in the National Science Honors Society. “I mostly helped guide the slime making and asked what color the kids wanted the slime to be,” she explained. Stefany was only there from 8:00 to about 11:30 in the morning because she had to leave early to go to work. “The event was from 9:00 to about 12:00, but if you were volunteering you had to be there at 8:00 to help set up for it,” she said.
