Halloween falls on a Thursday night this year and that’s more than a little scary to some Alabama students.

Students at Vestavia Hills High School have launched a petition on change.org calling for classes to be canceled Nov. 1 to allow people to better enjoy Halloween festivities. The petition is one of more than 450 currently posted to change.org, amassing a total of more than 350,000 signatures.

In three days, the VHHS petition has racked up 1,805 signatures out of its 2,500 goal.

“Halloween is one of the best holidays of the year. Getting to stay out late and have fun is a major part of it. Having to go to worry about waking up early in the morning for school shouldn’t be a problem. Students should get to stay out longer and not have to go to bed at a decent time,” organizer Tre Stoutermire wrote for the VHHS petition.

The cancel-school petitions have been posted from around the country. They are proving popular, according to Change.org.

“These campaigns have brought over 207,000 new youth supporters to Change.org. We took a look at our stats, and it means over 54.92 percent of our new US-based signers this week came to the platform for these Halloween related petitions,” the online petition site said.

The school petitions aren’t the only holiday ones on change.org. Another recent petition – this one calling for Halloween to be moved from Oct. 31 to the last Saturday of the month - attracted more than 150,000 signatures.
