BROOMFIELD - There won't be little ghosts and goblins at Kohl Elementary School this Halloween.
In a newsletter sent home to parents, Principal Cindy Kaier wrote that the traditional Halloween party celebrated in classrooms each year will be replaced by a fall party on Friday.
And because the party is focused on fall, not Halloween, children can't wear costumes.
Parents expressed frustration that they weren't included in the decision.
Brook Kimber said it's hard to explain a random Oct. 5 party to a child.
The decision came after a discussion that culminated in an "emotional" meeting with teachers that focused on school holiday parties and how Kohl could continue to celebrate without leaving out anyone.
