Dear Guisers,

What’s more fun than dressing up? Kids love Halloween because it’s a time you’re encouraged to do what you already do everyday: put on a “costume”, pretend you’re something else, and try to figure out what you want to be. And you even get candy.

Now you probably won’t grow up to be a pirate (or a zombie or a witch), but Halloween is a time to think about all the roles that are possible.

Have fun today. And be safe. There has never been a documented case of a child dying from Halloween candy a stranger poisoned, but be smart.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
