Freshman Jordan Rumbaugh said, “I would say 18 years old is the cut off for trick-or-treating. Riley Wynn, Maddie Culleiton, and I are going as 3 blind mice this year. I found it on Pinterest and figured it would be cute and easy!”

This holiday seems to be very controversial between different types of people. Some people go all out at this time of the year with plenty of creepy skeletons and fake heads hanging out of their windows. Others think of Halloween as the most sinful time of the year! People question when is the right age to trick-or-treat, and others know for a fact when they should be done trick-or-treating. Knowing this controversy, I decided to ask a few of our fellow students what their opinion is on this.
“I think once you hit puberty, you should be done trick-or-treating,” said sophmore Ethan Sloane.“If you have to question it, it’s probably time to retire the pillowcase. Personally, that moment was after 6th grade. Don’t let the loss of trick-or-treat get you down though. There’s nothing wrong with showing off a great costume while handing out candy for the kids,” said senior John Ejzack.Junior Liz Albert said,“I would say 18 years old is the cut off. I’m not creative at all so I’ll probably just be the typical cat.”
Hello there fellow readers! I'm a teenager who writes for fun with some pretty big dreams. Jesus is my man and he's my #1 fan! I aspire to be a journalist someday writing in a poverty-stricken country, serving as a missionary as well. Fashion is pretty rad, and so is photography, and adventuring this pretty cool world. I enjoy writing about anything beauty, lifestyle, travel, news, mental health, or whatever is on my mind. Oh and I work at a Mexican restaurant and I love it! So now that you know a little about me, sit back, relax, and check out our newspaper!
