Halloween involves important decisions on costume choice. While dressing up is fun and exciting, it also runs the risk of offending others. Halloween offers the opportunity to discuss costume choices with kids & colleagues. It is important not to inadvertently mimic culture by culturally appropriating racial or ethnic groups.
We are bringing this up at school along with our discussions about diversity, respect, safety, reconciliation and inclusion. We invite families to continue the conversation at home as so many of us prepare to observe this fun fall occasion.
