Dear Editor,
We participated in last night’s Halloween trick or treat (the old- fashioned terminology) at our house and at our church event at Collinsville Methodist.
One thing that was noted at home and by church members is that kids were very polite, encouraged by their parents to say “Thank you” for treats, and also cautioned not to trample our lawn or step in the flowerbeds.
I have to say that Collinsville parents are stepping up to raise kids that treat others well.
