The Halloween spirit was in full effect at the Southern Ute Tribal Campus throughout the latter part of October. The Southern Ute Montessori Academy (SUIMA) students kicked off the spooky season with the annual Pumpkin Splash event held at the SunUte Community Center pool on Friday, Oct. 21. On All Hallows Eve, Tribal Departments showcased their creativity to SUIMA students and families by giving out treats and scares. More family friendly fun occurred with the annual Trunk or Treat event at the Sky Ute Casino Overflow Parking Lot later that evening.
