Mrs.
Scarpace's kindergarten friends at Holland Elementary School learned a valuable
lesson about Halloween – not all children can enjoy the sweets and candy when
you say, "Trick-or-Treat!"
Some
children have food allergies preventing them from even going trick-or-treating.
So how do we make Halloween safe and fun for everyone? Enter the Teal Pumpkin
Project!
The
class learned that a teal pumpkin means it is a house giving away non-food
items! That way all children can enjoy Halloween. The children painted teal
pumpkins in support of a classmate who has severe food allergies. These
impressionable 5 year olds learned a meaningful lesson about food and
friendship.
