We will be having a Pumpkin Book Character Contest this October!

This year’s pumpkins will be designed and decorated at home as a family project for those who would like to participate. Be creative and have fun!

Pumpkin Characters will be displayed in classrooms and at the PTA Trunk or Treat event.
