Paint Lick pumpkins

These students at Paint Lick Elementary recently participated in a Pumpkin Book Character contest. They decorated a pumpkin like a character from one of their favorite books. The results were adorable! Prize bags were given to all partipants. The winner of the K-1 category was Peppa Pig by Anna Anderson. The 2-3 category winner was Madison Kerr’s My Sister the Vampire #1 Switched.  Brianna Shell’s Smile pumpkin won for the 4 – 5 category. The family category winners were Kaden and Maddie Ellis for their If You Give a Mouse a Cookie Pumpkin.
