Ben A's Top 10 Pumpkins
Our Ben Alexander's annual pumpkin-decorating contest is to raise funds for the Food Coalition! This is a wonderful opportunity for students to showcase their creativity while supporting a great cause.
Starting Tuesday, October 29th, students will be able to vote for their favorite from the top 10 pumpkins by placing money in the bucket next to it. The three pumpkins that raise the most funds will be announced as winners on Friday, November 1st. All money raised will be donated to the Food Coalition, and we are thrilled to announce that Lea County Electric Cooperative will match the total funds raised!
Thank you for your support and participation. Please remember to pick up your child’s pumpkin after school on Friday, November 1st.
