It’s The Great Pumpkin Mr. Clown!
Every year in Green River, several local children forgo Halloween parties and over-night slumber parties filled with candy and treats to await the arrival of the Great Pumpkin!. The Great Pumpkin is supposed to bring toys and treats to good little boys and girls who believe in him. The children have to show their belief by spending the night in the local pumpkin patch. So for the past sixty years, children have camped out in Farmer Bob’s pumpkin patch. For those sixty years, the Great Pumpkin has been a no-show. He has never left a single toy or piece of candy. Mr. Clown doesn’t think that’s very sporting. In fact, Mr. Clown thinks this is incredibly rude. Children have believed in the Great Pumpkin for years, and he has never once thought to repay that belief in the promised way. Therefore this year Mr. Clown has sent the little children home from their camp-out in the pumpkin patch. He has waited all night for the Great Pumpkin to arrive because has a plan to show that old fuddy the Great Pumpkin the error of his rude thoughtless ways. And, Mr. Clown also has a great recipe for pumpkin pie.

DON’T SNACK BEFORE BED
It’s ever so important that little children follow good healthy eating habits. Bad eating habits can lead to childhood obesity, which in turn can lead to diabetes. And diabetes and obesity are not to be taken lightly. Mrs. Parker is the Health and Nutrition teacher at Green River Elementary and spends her days teaching children good eating habits, making sure they understand why they should eat well and how they can eat well. One thing she makes sure to tell them is that snacking before bed is a very bad idea. Not only does the body burn fewer calories at night while little children are sleeping, but it’s also bad for their teeth and can cause tooth decay! Of all the little children at Green River, Tommy Parker should know these lessons better than any of them since Mrs. Parker is his mother. But night after night, Tommy creeps to the refrigerator to have one final snack before bed. Some nights he has ice cream, others left-over meatloaf, and some nights it’s cookies. If Mrs. Parker realized this she would be very disappointed in Tommy. Mr. Clown, however, has realized. He’s been keeping a close eye on Tommy’s nightly snack attacks. And, tonight Mr. Clown has decided it’s time to teach Tommy the error of his ways. Let’s hope Tommy enjoys that left-over chicken! Because tonight Mr. Clown is going to make sure it’s Tommy’s last late night snack!

Be Careful Trick-or-Treating!
There are a lot of bad people out there. People who want to hurt little boys and girls. And some times adults. They do all sorts of awful things! Like kidnap them, murder them, and sometimes tie them up in basements to do such awful unspeakable acts that it would turn your hair white and make your skin crawl! On Halloween some of these bad people like to poison candy or put razor blades in apples! This is why little ones should never go trick-or-treating without an adult nearby, or to houses they don’t know, or take anything that isn’t safely packaged. Francis, Little Johnny, and Becky have decided to start their trick-or-treating this Halloween at Mr. Clown’s house! Luckily Mr. Clown would never poison candy or put razor blades in apples. He does however give out toothpaste and toothbrushes, since smiles and healthy teeth are so important to Mr. Clown! Let’s just hope the kids don’t try to trick Mr. Clown for giving such lame stuff out. He would not like that too much, and would punish them for forgetting to be careful while trick-or-treating. And for wasting all of that toilet paper…
