Pumpkin Book Festival!
The Annual Pumpkin Book Festival family project is coming up. Pick your favorite family book and decorate a small, pie pumpkin to look like one of the characters or the cover of the book. Any craft items can be used to add to the pumpkin, but please do NOT puncture the pumpkin because it will rot quickly. This is an OPTIONAL project for families to do together at home. Decorated pumpkins (along with the book) will be due Monday, October 22nd, for display in the library. Please drop your pumpkin and book off in the library when arriving at school. Be sure your child's name is displayed near the pumpkin. All classes will have the opportunity to take a pumpkin walk to see the creative work! Pumpkins and books will go home on Friday, 10/26.
