It's funny because I keep hearing about how the publics schools won't celebrate or even mention holidays and things because they are afraid to offend people or something, yet I have seen the opposite really...
Friends of mine have one child who goes to a public school (their other kids all go to/went to religious schools) because the school offers good programs for deaf children, and I've noticed their child often brings home holiday-related things like Christmas, Halloween, Easter etc... Her class went on a trip to a pumpkin farm for Halloween and I'm sure have done other activities like that for other holidays. Now, her family is orthodox Jewish so they do not celebrate any of these holidays at all but do her parents complain about the school? Nope...
