SAVE HALLOWEEN FOR OUR KIDS

A majority of townspeople find it totally unfair that Halloween has been canceled at the two schools that have always celebrated. It seems that this decision was made to appease the minority. It is clear this decision was made by the BOE only, without input from the majority. Halloween is a tradition and a fun holiday for children. it is important that our children learn diversity, tradition and other cultures, this is all part of their education. We all strongly feel that Halloween should be maintained, celebrated and shared. Promoting tolerance does not mean abandoning mainstream customs and traditions. Based upon the reasons for canceling Halloween, will Christmas, Hanukkah, Easter, Valentines day all be canceled also? This is a valid concern based upon the BOE's decision for Halloween.
