Halloween celebrations planned for Halstead, Sedgwick, Burrton

This window painting was made by high school art teacher Kaci Sattler and student Madison McCullough. Inspired by Vincent van Gogh's painting, “Starry Night,” Sattler and McCullough dubbed their creation “Scary Night” by Vincent van Ghoul.
