Halloween book characters - does your school do this?

[Anonymous]

We do this and it's really easy to throw together a book costume. Think all blue (top and bottom) and they can be a crayon from "The Day the Crayons Quit." Or cut out a few dots in red blue and yellow and then you're the book Press Here.

Assuming this is not just our school, do you actually create a second costume or just tell yourself there are books of Pokémon or Frozen or trolls or whatever your kid was already being?

I’m usually a rule follower but I can’t with this one. Team let the kids have fun.

It's the ony way to still celebrate with costumes when you have a group who won't celebrate Halloween for religious reasons. Ask me how I know

We still had parents refuse to let their kid participate in the book parade

Our school banned Halloween starting in 2021 out of equity, and tried to encourage the book costumes. No one did it, because it was basically asking parents (moms) to do more work and spend money and time to come up with an acceptable book character. So equitable. So now our school has nothing.

Our school has done this before, and it was a vocabulary day this year. Maybe some people did 2 costumes but most costumes looked like standard costumes (Harry Potter is "wizard" for vocab day and that would have also worked for book character day). Its an elementary school.
