Texas Children’s celebrates Halloween with a week of spirited activities

October 22, 2021

Goblins, ghosts and ghouls, oh my! As you know, we conducted the Waggl survey to hear directly from you on how Texas Children’s can be even better, and many of you asked to bring back our fun traditions.

The pandemic has prevented a complete return, but as part of our Tomorrow, Together initiative, we’re excited to launch a spooky Halloween Spirit Week starting Monday, October 25. Please click here for the full schedule.

You are invited to make this year’s Halloween a festive and fun experience for our patients and team members by wearing appropriate Halloween costumes or spirit attire. Please follow these guidelines below.

  • Costumes should be fun and festive, but not scary for our patients.
  • If working in a clinical area, costumes must be easily removable to handle medical emergencies and be respectful to our patients and their families.
  • Please make sure your badge is worn and visible at all times.
  • Please continue to follow safety, social distancing and PPE guidelines. A Halloween mask/face covering cannot be used in place of your TCH issued mask (wearing a mask might just fit in perfectly with your costume idea).

If you don’t have Halloween gear, please stop by any of the campus gift shops and receive a 25 percent discount on any Halloween merchandise when you present a red or blue badge.
