Pumpkin Contest

The Historic Figure Pumpkin Contest is held on Halloween or Just before Halloween, in the Library.

Students bring in a pumpkin that has been decorated or carved to represent a historical figure such as George Washington or Confucius.

They make a display card showing:

• adjectives describing the person
• the person's relatives
• the person's home
• the person's years of birth and death
• the person's talents
• the person's beliefs
• what the person is remembered for
• the person's name
