Students like Wilson, junior Haley Brown, sophomores Bayli Czarnecki, and Christopher Milton make their costumes original. These costumes include \u201ca peacock, the Mad Hatter, Alice (from Alice in Wonderland), a fish tank, a swamp monster, a marionette puppet, Mother Nature, a bridesmaid, Annie Oakley, and many other costumes over the years,\u201d said Wilson. Brown said, \u201cI have gone as a softball player, half-angel\/half-devil, a cheerleader, batman, a bloody nurse, and then this year will be a pumpkin!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The debate over what age children should stop going trick-or-treating has been a well talked about topic among parents and kids, but whether or not families stopped is up to them. Students such as freshman Cam Mullins, Mackenzie Barnhart, and sophomore Devin Gritton go trick-or-treating by taking their younger siblings and going with their families. However, some students like freshman Mikayla Sommers, Hope Gandara, and junior Hayley Brown at PHS still go trick-or-treating with their friends. Also, students pass out candy at their houses to the children in their neighborhood. \u201cNow that is something Delaney [ Mr. Martin&#8217;s daughter] loves- she ate two pieces of candy for everyone she gave out,\u201d said Mr Josh Martin.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9852\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/social.plymouth.k12.in.us\/perspective\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_4019.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9852\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9852\" src=\"http:\/\/social.plymouth.k12.in.us\/perspective\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_4019-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Trick-or-Treat candy  Photo By: Taylor Drake\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/social.plymouth.k12.in.us\/perspective\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_4019-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/social.plymouth.k12.in.us\/perspective\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_4019-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/social.plymouth.k12.in.us\/perspective\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_4019-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/social.plymouth.k12.in.us\/perspective\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_4019.jpg 1082w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-9852\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Trick-or-Treat candy<br \/>Photo By: Taylor Drake<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Many families celebrate Halloween by going to haunted houses; students like Hayley Brown go Niles Haunted House and sophomore Dylan Hall go to Jolly Orchards in Michigan.
