Just call me the Grinch who stole Halloween. I didn’t really, but judging by the reaction I had from some parents and families the first year I cancelled holiday parties, you would have thought I was. Yes, yes, I know…school parties are fun….the kids look forward to them….it is just one (5 days) day…I have heard all these reasons and more about why school parties were necessary. My favorite was the parent who was upset because I was taking away her opportunity to volunteer…How about popcorn Wednesday? Reading log Thursday? Daily reading buddy….or any of the millions of little tasks…
