Pumpkin Decorating Extravaganza 10/24-10/28/16

The Kilpatrick Library is hosting its eleventh annual BOOK CHARACTER Pumpkin Decorating Extravaganza for OKE families from October 24th-28th! You can use paint, fabric, and other craft supplies to transform an ordinary pumpkin into your favorite character from a book! Perhaps you can use a little red paint to make Clifford or some yellow yarn to make Goldilocks! We're looking for pumpkins that are created, not carved (please do not poke holes in the pumpkin as this causes the pumpkin to decay).  The pumpkin characters will be on display in the library for all to enjoy! The library is open each morning at 8:00 AM.

This event is an Extravaganza, and not a contest.  Pumpkins will not be judged, but will be enjoyed by students and parents! What a fun seasonal activity for the whole family to enjoy! We'll invite some of our students to share their creations on announcements each morning throughout the Extravaganza. Also, ALL student participants will receive a special pumpkin dog tag for their Reading Chain! Have fun and happy decorating!

Important Dates:

• Monday, October 24th-Thursday, October 27th: Bring your pumpkin creations to the library!
• Friday, October 28th: All pumpkins not picked up in the morning will be sent home with students at dismissal.

The entry form is being sent home in the 10/12/16 Wednesday folder.  Additional forms are available in the library or can be printed here.

 Red Ribbon Week is October 24-28.
