Can't have fun at Snow Canyon Middle School
No fun is allowed for Halloween at Snow Canyon Middle School. Has Mr. Goldhardt forgotten how much fun it was to dress up for Halloween? Or perhaps he wasn't allowed when he was little. At any case, what a shame. Halloween is not a "devilish day", it is not an "anti-good morals day" either. If he asks any of his students, Halloween doesn't have any meaning beyond an opportunity to dress up and have fun. Any other thoughts regarding this day are in his mind, and in his mind only.
What a shame to not let kids be kids. Oh! I forgot to mention that during school spirit day the kids are only allowed to wear a green or white shirt. No crazy hats or face logos that can "add to the school spirit". I am sorry to let you know Mr. Goldheardt, but a green shirt or a white shirt can be worn any day. Spirit day should be louder than a ordinary day.
And when it comes to Halloween -- whatever you think it is -- for the kids and the kids' parents it is just a fun day. I am very sorry to learn you don't allow it at your school.

Halloween as it is celebrated represents a Satanic holiday, when witches, vampires, Devils, and Gobblins, and the curse of death, become the highlight of the day, you have a "High Satanic Mass."
Is this really what you want for yourself, and your children, eternal torment and destruction? My advice, if you want to celebrate, change the occasion to something wholsome. Amen!

I don't care how halloween got started. Today, halloween is an opportunity to have fun with my children. While my daughter is walking around dress like a little princess, I'll pray for you and people like you that cannot see much beyond thier nose.

Tracy,
Lighten up, lady. If you look for evil and bad in everything, you will find it. Personally, I don't see what isn't wholesome about Halloween. It's kids and community coming together to have some fun. If you choose not to participate, that's also your right. If you truly believe eternal darkness awaits your children for going door-to-door to collect candy, then by all means, keep them home, turn on a movie and turn out your lights.
I'll celebrate all Hallow's Eve and All Souls Day.

Hi, I go to Snow Canyon Middle School and we had a protest because of this unfair act by our principle.
I was in it and I feel we really did make a difference.
Thanks for writing this article, it helps me see that we really weren't alone when it came to adult support.
