Port Colborne school forbids costumes on Halloween Sarah Ferguson, QMI Agency Friday, October 4, 2013 7:57:22 EDT PM PORT COLBORNE, Ont. -- There won’t be any children masquerading as ghouls, goblins, princesses or super heroes at McKay Public School on Halloween. Instead of dressing in costumes at the Port Colborne elementary school, students are asked to wear orange and black clothing in favour of “a more inclusive Spirit Day,” a note attached to the monthly calendar said. The news came as a surprise to a number of parents in the school community because costumes have been allowed for years. “It’s frustrating because the Halloween dance for Grade 7 and 8 is cancelled, too,” said April Smith, whose daughter attends the school. “My daughter was looking forward to it. She is finally of age and it’s sad because the school said nope, sorry, they aren’t having it.” Smith is organizing a costume parade outside the school on Halloween. She hopes other parents will agree to pull their children out of school early in the afternoon for the event
