New Jersey school cancels Halloween parties

MAPLEWOOD, N.J. (WPVI) -- There will be no little ghosts and goblins at an elementary school in North Jersey this year.

They won't get to celebrate Halloween.

Administrators aren't allowing any parties because they say some students of different cultures felt left out in past years.

A letter went home to parents of students at Seth Boyden Elementary in Maplewood.

The school tried to cancel the parties last year, but there was outrage and they were ultimately allowed to go on as planned.

But, this year no parties.
