I was in a grade level meeting this afternoon planning our "fall festival" when I heard a co-worker mention that the kids were going to be crazy next Wednesday, October 31st due to trick-or-treating. In agreement I said, "Yeah they get pretty excited thinking about going to get all that candy." My coworker then corrected me, "Well, they'll have already gotten their candy the night before." I then asked, "Oh is there some community party on the 30th?" And all my coworkers informed me of the following: No, there is no party; however due to Wednesday being a "church night," the powers at be in the community decided that Halloween will be observed in Greenville on Tuesday, October 30th. So if you want to dress your kiddos up and go out, you better be ready... the bell at the fire station will ring at 6 p.m. when you may begin asking for a free candy handout and you better be heading home at 8 p.m. when that bell rings again.
I kid you not... this is for real, though I had a hard time convincing Eric. At least, I can celebrate "Reformation Day" on October 31st with a good conscience ;)
I wonder when Thanksgiving will be...
Update! I found the link from the city's website on Halloween's date

I love your stories. They are so funny. We can't have a halloween party, we are having an autumn party and we are dissecting pumpkins, and not eating any orange food. We may dye the pumpkin pie blue or something so it doesn't look Halloweenish.
Oh education
