What does your school do for Halloween?

Published

Our school is in an urban area where at least 30-40% of our families do NOT celebrate Halloween. Instead, this coming Friday we are having a Fall Carnival. The kids who participate can wear their costumes to school for the day (no masks or accessories allowed). We will have two classrooms for those kids who do not celebrate (they will all be wearing their usual school uniforms that day). All kids will participate in fun crafts, snacks, and Fall-themes activities. On Monday (actual Halloween) it will just be a normal day here. Not looking forward to Tuesday when they all bring candy to school (very strict anti-candy policy here) and I have to tell them to put it away...

No plans in my High School. Just pray for appropriate costumes and everyone stays sober. Last year it was during spirit week so the school colors day fell on the Friday before Halloween.

The big day has arrived! Know what I love about party day? No one wants to fake sick! I don't even mind fixing crazy styles, suppling safety pins, and repairing costumes when it's this "Q word" in here. Happy Special Holiday!

I just had to provide a change of clothes for a kiddo who "accidentally put on a costume" this morning.

I hate when I accidentally put on clothes!

We're a private Christian school. We pretend Halloween doesn't exist.
