Acctg Halloween Door Decorating Fun!

 

🎃 Accounting 1's Spooktacular Door: Accruing the Halloween Spirit!

The halls are buzzing for the Halloween Door Decorating Contest at West! Our Accounting 1 class is throwing their witch's hat into the ring with a creative entry!

Their door is covered in Halloween decor and also Post-it note jokes scattered on the hallway. 

• Why was 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 - 8 - 9!

• What do you call an accountant who is always happy? A credit to the profession!

And of course the best accounting pun, displayed front and center:

"It's an Accrual World!"

The students truly proved that even debits and credits can be fun with a little Halloween spirit. We're keeping our fingers crossed for a win!
