Not trying to stir any controversy, but it seems like most of the costumes are dedicated more towards females. I think a wider variety of costumes would of provided for a better list for all students. Also speaks a bit too much on women empowerment. I would of liked to see it focus solely on costumes, and not bring other topics into it which could stir up drama within the North Penn community.
