Book Character Pumpkin Contest

Hey kiddos, it's that time of year again. To get in the spirit of the season (pun intended), the library is sponsoring its 2nd Annual Pumpkin Decorating Contest.  Last year, we had more than 50 wonderfully terrific entries.  We're hoping for even more this year.  

To participate, decorate a pumpkin as a book character.  For inspiration, you can always rely on Google, or look back through this blog or our school Facebook page for pics of last year's entries.  However, while it is more than okay to choose the same book or character as one from last year, make it YOUR OWN and don't just simply copy one already done. 

Pumpkins will be judged by a guest from the community. Prizes will be given to the best in each grade.  PLUS...there will be a contest for "Teacher Favorite" and overall "Fan Favorite" where students and Facebook friends will have the chance to vote on their pick.

RULES

Real pumpkins must be used.

NO carved pumpkins will be accepted.

Pumpkins should be no bigger than a basketball (roughly).  The student must be able to carry it.

Pumpkins may be painted and embellished with decorations and/or props.

Pumpkins should be turned in to the library on 

Friday, Oct. 20, 

Monday, Oct. 23 or 

Tuesday, Oct. 24.  

Voting for the Fan Favorite will begin on the afternoon of the 24th.  Winners will be announced on October 30!

Students, we're so excited to see your creations!  Good luck!

October

Me, too, Anne.
