MS Student council, along with their advisor Mrs. Jones, sponsored a pumpkin decorating contest. Each 5th block chose a theme from Funny, Spooky, or Unique, and worked together to create their 1 entry. The pumpkins were donated by Theresa Thompson. MS Student Council provided the paint and supplies.
This was a fun project and you can tell by the pictures, that thought and planning went into their final project. Several staff members voted and here are the winners:
Funniest: Evil Olaf
Spookiest: Pennywise
Most Unique: Eyeroller
Overall Winner: Oscar the Grouch
