Ms. Cowoline’s Announcement about the Halloween Parade

AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FROM MS. COWOLINE ABOUT THE HALLOWEEN PARADE

Well, children, it has come to my attention that the School Council has created a petition to protest the cancelling of this year’s Halloween Parade.

Please be assured that it was never my intention to take the fun out of Halloween. I just felt that with all the effort we put into the play last month, we could make up some missed work by focusing our efforts on our studies rather than taking the time off for a parade.

But I have to agree with winpanda that a 12 page petition is very impressive (and may I add that I DO like your new sig!)

It’s been very informative to read some of the comments. You have all raised some excellent issues.

I thought Gardengal made a great point when they said, “I think they should have the parade. It sounds like a school tradition & it’s very unfair to break a school tradition.”

MDIChickadee had some good ideas and pointed out that traditions like the Halloween Parade are good for the school community. “Dear Ms. Cowoline, The Halloween Parade really brings us together as a community. May we have it immediately after school so that we do not miss any class time? Or is there another option you can think of that would allow us to have the parade while not missing class time? Thank you for your assistance, and I hope we have the parade!” Well said!

To Sodapop, who said, “I think it’s great to start a petition for something you believe in. I vote we have the parade, I can’t wait to see what it’s like. Can we dress up our pets? Go Purr-cilla!” It certainly IS great to stand up for what you believe in.

I really liked live*laugh*love=happiness’ comment, “I’ll sign! To help, think of it this way Mrs. Cowline. This gives the students a chance to express themselves by wearing a costume.” I always welcome self-expression in my students!

R3dRulez said that “This is an important tradition to us!!” Sean noted, “The Halloween Pet Parade is important to the Kinz Crew, Ms. Cowline” while juniedog said, “I sign this petition because I think it is important that the pets can have fun on Halloween. This is one way to shut it down and I am against it.” Those are all very persuasive arguments.

And finally, to lillyluvie, who said “I’m signing! I luv Halloween, and I think it is unfair that Mrs. Cowoline is not letting you have the parade!” and artchic, who added “Put my name down too! Miss Cowaline has no holiday spirit! It is just one afternoon off!” and CouragousTigress who said “I am all for this! Let kids be kids while they can, Ms. Cowaline. Don’t be a sour puss!” Never let it be said that I am unfair or have no holiday spirit, and I certainly wouldn’t want to be thought of as a sour puss!

So, after taking all your comments and signatures into consideration, I have decided that the Halloween Parade is just too important a tradition to let go – even for one year. Thanks to all of you who signed the petition, the parade will go on!
