SALISBURY TWP., Pa. – The costumes are ready, the candy bags are waiting, and little ghosts and goblins are counting down until they hit the streets for trick-or-treating.<\/p>\n
69 News Reporter Sydney Kay was in Salisbury Township with more on the excitement and Halloween safety tips for families to keep in mind.<\/p>\n
Getting dressed for school looked a bit different Friday morning for students at Moravian Academy Swain Campus.<\/p>\n
\u201cChloe from Descendants,\u201d said student Lucy Boronyak.<\/p>\n
\u201cPink from Descendants,\u201d added another student, Peyton Franzyshen.<\/p>\n
Their goal wasn\u2019t to be best dressed, but coolest, spookiest, and mischievous.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaymitch Abernathy from the Hunger Games\u2026 Because I really like the books and the movies,\u201d said sixth grader Joey Franzyshen.<\/p>\n
The school\u2019s annual Halloween parade and trunk or treat is something sweet for these kiddos. It\u2019s a way to bring out their creativity.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey can pretend, kids can pretend and they actually get to embody the pretending, which is cool,\u201d said fourth grade teacher Sarah Kleppinger.<\/p>\n
It was hard to hide their excitement.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust the spookiness of everything,\u201d added student Finn Diaz.<\/p>\n
But the real treat is hitting the streets for all hallows eve.<\/p>\n
\u201cTrick-or-treating with my friends and family,\u201d said Peyton.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just really fun trick or treating with my friends every year and then sorting out the candy,\u201d sixth grader Ethan Chung agreed.<\/p>\n
That’s why the whole family needs to practice safety.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would make sure to hold hands when using crosswalks, make sure to keep your head on a swivel a little bit, because as excited as kids are walking around, sometimes people can get distracted too,\u201d Kleppinger said.<\/p>\n
A way around that is utilizing the costume.<\/p>\n
\u201cUsing reflective gear, whether that is a flashlight or that reflective tape that can go on your costume or a reflective bag,\u201d she explained. As for candy, she says, \u201cThrow away anything that\u2019s opened or suspicious looking.\u201d<\/p>\n
Because this weekend, we all want to have a little fun, a lot of treats, and have a safe and happy Halloween.<\/p>\n
