Pumpkin Decorating Contest Announcement
Get ready for our most fun library challenge! We’re excited to announce our Pumpkin Decorating Contest, where students will transform a pumpkin into their favorite book character. Use paint, props, and decorations to bring your character to life—no carving allowed! All pumpkins must be brought to the library by Tuesday, October 28, to be entered into the contest. Our teachers will judge the entries during the last week of October, and we’ll award 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes. Winners will receive their choice of either Amazon credit ($30, $20, or $15) or a Scholastic Book Fair voucher ($40, $30, or $20). Every participant will receive a treat bag just for entering! Please remember to provide your own pumpkin, and get ready to let your imagination run wild! 🎨📚
