The Book Character Pumpkin Decorating Contest is back! This year we will once again have an in person contest. So pick out your favorite book character and the perfect pumpkin to decorate because it's time to get creative!
The contest will run from October 25th - 29th in the Learning Commons and Primary Learning Center. Pumpkins must be brought in on Monday the 25th, and taken home on the 29th.
In order to avoid overcrowding in the hallway, pumpkins must be small enough for students to carry inside on their own.
Voting will take place during Library Science classes. Parent voting will take place on The Falcon's Fables. No pumpkins will be accepted if they have been carved or have holes in them.
