Thumbs up, thumbs down

Thumbs Up...

...To Halloween, a fun-filled holiday of scary movies, candy, haunted houses, and Mr. Scott’s gargoyle. 

...To carving pumpkins, a great way to have some socially distanced fun with friends while getting into the holiday spirit. 

...To apples; caramel apples are arguably the best seasonal treat in existence, apple pie is an amazing fall dessert, and apple cider is a classic hot drink.

...To the English department’s table read of The Crucible, a great way to keep students entertained while learning.

...To voting; no matter which candidate you support, voting is a great way to make your voice heard. It is also a great opportunity to make a positive impact in your country.

Thumbs Down...

...To snow; it’s October-  you are about two months too early, please at least wait until November. 

...To trick-or-treating being cancelled; while most of us have outgrown the classic pastime, it is still sad to see trick-or-treating being cancelled for the youth of Oshkosh. 

...To the district bedtime; if someone wants to use their Chromebook to work past 12am why does the school district get to tell them they can’t?

...To not having a normal Halloween, haunted houses closing down, trick or treating being cancelled, and it is already snowing; can 2020 calm down and throw us a bone?

...To Wisconsinites for making us the 4th highest state in reported cases of Covid in the last week. Texas, Illinois, and California are the only states that have more.
