The Literary Pumpkin Patch Returns!!
Stahl Library is celebrating the fall season with a literary pumpkin patch. Decorate a pumpkin as your favorite storybook character.
- Pumpkins cannot be carved or punctured.
- Do not use spray paint on the pumpkin (it gradually dissolves the pumpkin).
- One pumpkin per student.
- Acrylic paint and permanent markers work best. Gluing items to the pumpkin is also a great option.
- You may bring your pumpkin to the library starting Monday, October 23rd. Please do not bring pumpkins before the starting date.
- The pumpkin must be smaller than a basketball and easily carried by your child.
- Participation is optional. This is not a contest.
- Pumpkins must be picked up by Friday, October 27th at the end of the school day. Pumpkins will be discarded, if not picked up.
