The Elm Street School's Halloween parade won't step off this year, instead replaced by a black and orange spirit day. The Elm Street School in Walpole, Massachusetts, has replaced its Halloween parade with a black and orange spirit day, where costumes are not allowed. The principal sent out a note in one of her newsletters stating that this was communicated through the children. An online petition has already gathered nearly 400 signatures, with parents hoping to maintain this tradition. The Boyden School in the same town replaced their parade with spirit day almost a decade ago, and since then, parent committees have organized trunk or treats or other events so students can still show off their costumes.
