Pumpkin Donations & Pumpkin Carving Volunteers

 

Our Grade 1/2 class, and many classes in the school, will be decorating &/or carving pumpkins coming up later in the month for a new special 'Pumpkin Walk Showcase' school event on Tuesday, October 29. If your family (or a family/farm nearby) has an abundance of pumpkins you are willing to donate to the school, please reach out to Mrs Herbert. We have a some large donations coming from local farms already for the majority of the classes and just filling in the last few that we may need. 

We will be seeking donation commitments by the end of this week BUT we will not be gathering the pumpkins until closer to the end of October. We do not have a place for them to be stored at school to prevent frost damage or out of the way for safety reasons.  

Also, we are looking for some volunteers to assist with carving pumpkins with our learning buddies to have some extra hands to dig in and get dirty to support our wee artists. If you are able to volunteer your time, we would love some extra hands. We are hoping that all plans work out to carve on Tuesday, October 29 in the morning and wrapping up at first break. A current police check/declaration is required to be filed in the office. Please let Mrs. Herbert know if you would be able to assist. 

Thanks so very much!
