As one petition starter writes: "Every year, kids go out and spend most of the long night with their families and friends, bonding and celebrating Halloween night by trick or treating, watching scary movies, costume party’s, etc. These celebrations not only strengthen our local and school communities, but also give students who don’t fit in easily a reason to go out and interact with peers and express interests/passions simply through their costume."
This is a movement to allow students to enjoy that celebration without having to worry about school the next day.
