PUMPKIN DECORATING CONTEST (VOLUNTEERS NEEDED)
This information is for parents of students in Mrs. Akin's homeroom. This year we will be getting into the fall spirit by having a school-wide pumpkin decorating contest inspired by favorite books. Noel McCullough has offered to purchase the pumpkin and art supplies. Thank you, Noel! We need a few parents to help students decorate the pumpkin during recess (11:30-12:00) one day during the week of Monday, October 22nd. Please contact Mrs. Akin via email if you are interested in helping. We could use 2-3 volunteers. Thank you!
