THE 30th ANNUAL PUMPKIN SHINE IS IN THE BOOKS!

Southfield School and SPAR's 30th Anniversary Pumpkin Shine was a hit and brought out tens of thousands of Shreveport-Bossier residents to Betty Virginia Park for this year's milestone event. Pumpkin Shine '22 featured 90+ displays and we're so proud of the participation and creativity in our community!

We'd like to thank our Parent Volunteer Chair and alumna, Sarah Lowder, and Co-Chair, Amy Kathleen Smith for helping make this event a success. Additional thanks to our awesome Dads' Club, Room Moms, and parent volunteers that helped set up displays, transported pumpkins, or organized painting and/or a theme.

Additionally, we want to give a huge shoutout to our Great Pumpkin Sponsors for making Pumpkin Shine happen.
