For years now, Halloween has been a commonly practiced holiday in the United States. Kids and teenagers alike all gather together to roam the streets and trick-or-treat, host dinner parties with family and friends, participate in trunk-or-treat at their church, or stay in and watch spooky movies with their significant other. The common theme behind all of these is simple: it all involves staying up late. Students and teachers alike deserve to be able to spend time with family and friends, enjoying Halloween festivities, without being forced to worry about the stress of rising early for school the next morning. If granted, Halloween memories within the Deer Creek community will forever be remembered and cherished by the occupants within this school district. Please understand where we are coming from, as hard-working students and teachers, and consider this change to allow us to enjoy a Halloween night with the luxury of sleeping in the next morning. Thank you.
