Book-o-Ween for Everyone?

OCT. 23, 2019: HEY!!! Do you like candy, costumes, and books? So do we! Kids in pre-k, kindergarten, and first grade get to dress up as characters in books and get candy from older kids and teachers. But older kids don't get the chance to do these things at school. Instead of getting candy, we give out candy and instead of wearing costumes, we still have to wear our school uniform. Even though we have a masquerade ball on October 31st, we still have to pay $5 for our meal of pizza, chips, and juice instead of getting these goodies for free like the younger kids. 

We think we deserve the right to do the Book-o-Ween parade because some kids don't even get to get candy on Halloween. If we can participate at school, this problem would be solved. The Book-o-Ween parade is a fun thing to do and it is not fair that some kids are just stuck in class just waiting for school to end. We think we deserve to walk in the Book-o-Ween parade because we like to have fun, eat sweets, read books, and we are well behaved too!
