National PTA Offers Suggestions For
A “Safe And Happy” HaDowafl
IT’* To The Post ’•
Halloween is a special holiday for
children. However, parents have re
cently become concerned about the
safety of children who trick-or
treat. .
According to Ann Kahn, National
PTA president, “The PTA has al
ways been concerned about chil
dren’s Halloween safety. That’s why
we’re asking parents and local PTAs
to use precautions to avoid any
potential problems or to offer al
ternatives to trick-or-treating by
' organizing neighborhood activi
ties.”
Here are suggestions from the Na
tional PTA to make Halloween a
safe, happy holiday for children and
the community.
--Accompany children on their
< treat-gathering route.
.--Avoid unfamiliar neighborhoods
or homes of strangers.
-Tell children not to sample any
thing until they return home so that
the treats can be inspected for
possible tampering.
-Tell children to politely decline
any Invitation to enter a home or
apartment. Similarly, don’t en
courage children you don’t know to
enter your home. Give manufac
turer-wrapped treats rather than
homemade goodies.
-Make sure masks do not ob
struct peripheral vision, or use
makeup instead.
-See that custumes are short
enough so youngsters don’t trip
Bright colors and reflectorized
costumes are more visible.
“If costumes are purchased at a
store, make sure they are “Flame
Proof.” This includes masks,
wigs, and beards.
-For older kids without adult
chaperones, the first rule is always
to travel in groups and never alone
For those who prefer an alterna
tive to trick-or-treating, the follow
ing activities could be coordinated
by a local PTA.
-Host an all-school Halloween
party and invite children to come in
costumes and masks. Present
awards for the best
ginal costume from
room.
-Host a house party
and their friends,
children to dress as
characters, and have each
his or her character's life
Have treats for them, and
bob for apples. Arrange a
hunt in and around the house.
-Weather permitting, stage
Halloween block party for
in the area.
