Dear Parents, Students, and Teachers,
This year, the library is getting into the fall spirit by having a pumpkin decorating contest. Darlington students and staff are invited to decorate a pumpkin like their favorite book character. It’s easy and fun for the whole family! Students and staff may bring in a decorated pumpkin to the school library and enter it into our contest starting Monday, October 22. All entries must be received by 3:30 PM the afternoon of October 30th. Entry forms can be found in the library and at Mrs. Payne's desk.
Contest Rules:
1. Pumpkins will be painted, hot glued, colored, Etc. Please use FAKE PUMPKINS this year as real ones will rot, attract bugs, and smell.
2. Pumpkins should represent a favorite book character. On the entry form, please write the title and author of the book. **I would recommend getting the book information first before even starting to decorate the pumpkin. **
3. This will be a home project and pumpkins should be done mostly by students. Pre-K thru 2nd grade students may work with parents to complete a pumpkin as a “family.” 3rd-8th grade students should do most of the work themselves, with only some assistance by parents.
4. Pumpkins will be judged according to the following categories:
Pre-K thru 2nd Grade “Family” Pumpkins
3rd Grade thru 5th Grade Student Pumpkins
6th Grade thru 8th Grade Student Pumpkins
Faculty & Staff Pumpkins
5. Judging will be conducted by a panel of judges.
6. Prizes: One winner in each category will be chosen. Each winner will receive a $20 Gift Card to Barnes and Noble.
7. Pumpkins will be sent home by Friday, November 2.
