Halloween costumes will have to stay packed away for elementary school students in one Connecticut town, at least until the big night.
In a letter sent to parents this week, the principal of Lillie B. Haynes Elementary School in Niantic, Connecticut, informed parents that the school has eliminated the annual Halloween parade and costumes in school, WTIC reported.
The letter from Melissa DeLoreto said that officials made the decision was made so students didn't feel excluded and to make sure students stay safe, specifically when adults come to the parade dressed in costumes also.
Classroom parties will still happen but will not be Halloween themed and instead, will have a fall feel.
One parent told WTIC that the cancelation is "killing kids' fun."
