A NOTE ABOUT HALLOWEEN

There have been a number of questions concerning Halloween. While, Eden Christian Academy has chosen to celebrate holidays which support biblical principles such as Christmas and Easter, Eden has chosen to NOT observe Halloween as a school . We ask that clothing and costumes related to Halloween not be worn to school.

Thank you for your cooperation regarding this matter.
