At this year's Halloween Trunk or Treat, a huge effort was made by the organizing committee to make this our cleanest, greenest Halloween by reducing waste and minimizing plastic. Specific stations, known as "Eco-Points," were available to recycle waste and in the build up to the event, the Girl Scouts held costume sales, which allowed for families to donate gently used costumes for other kids to wear, so that they were not thrown in the waste. Sustainable practices were followed throughout the event, while ensuring that everyone had lots of fun!

ISB aims to enhance student life by providing students the opportunity to join clubs and societies. Film society has been very busy lately in that they produced a 15 second horror film in order to compete in a worldwide competition. We interviewed the two students who were the minds behind the idea & who were in charge of production (filming) and asked them about the experience and thought process.
