Our school administration should declare the day after Halloween a holiday for students. Children look forward to dressing up and going door to door a whole year and work hard on their costumes. Since it is dark when we begin our trick or treating, we end up going to bed pretty late once we are tallying up our candy and whatnot. The next morning is rough for early school wake up, and we are distracted and unfocused anyway. It makes more sense to give students a break so they can return one day later fully charged and eager to learn.
