Costume donations needed

Pioneer High School is collecting donations for new or used Halloween costumes today through Oct. 24.

English teacher Charity Graff said the costumes will be donated to children ages 3 to 12 who otherwise would not be able to afford one.

"I think that Halloween is a very important experience for anybody to do, and I don't want anybody to feel excluded," said Graff who got the idea for the collection after a school secretary mentioned their had been a similar drive years before.

Donations can be dropped at the school campus, 225 East Park St. during school hours.

The costumes will be distributed Oct. 27 and Oct. 29 between 3-5 p.m.
