To be honest. If this had happened at my school when I was a kid I would have been somewhat thrilled. That day during which the kids had their Halloween parties and parades I was forced to sit on the sidelines and watch. One teacher even went to the effort of helping me make a mask out of a grocery bag so I could wear it in the costume parade. My mother found out and chewed out the teacher and school. I never went trick or treating or was allowed to even dress up in my own house on Halloween.
I take my daughter trick or treating now and my mother complains loudly, telling me that I'm teaching her to worship Satan. I basically had to ask my daughter not to talk about Halloween to my mother at all. It's a bummer for her but at least she's not completely excluded and then picked on by other kids because of it.
