The 'School' brochure, printed by Jehovah's Witnesses, says on page 21, after listing Christmas, Easter, Halloween, All Saints Day, New Years Day, Valentine's Day, May day, Mothers Day
''These are just a sampling of holidays that are commonly observed, and in which schoolchildren often are expected to participate by sharing in certain activities.
However, Jehovah's Witnesses for conscientious reasons do not take any part in these holiday activities-whether it be singing, playing music, acting in plays, marching in parades, drawing pictures, attending parties, eating and drinking, and so forth.
Yet, at the same time, we do not object to others celebrating such holidays nor try to hinder them.
We appreciate it very much when teachers kindly excuse our children from participation in all activities that in any way commemorate these holidays''
