Doxey Elementary

Calling all Doxey Community! 📢

📚We need your help to make our annual "Read for Pumpkins" contest a success!🎃

Please join us on Monday, September 22nd at 3:30 PM on the north side of the school. We will be handing out pumpkins for you to take home and decorate.

This is a fun and easy way to support a Doxey tradition that's been going on for 30 years! 👏The pumpkins will be returned to the library the week of October 6th, and students will have a chance to win one just by reading.

Your support makes a huge difference! 🐲

The pumpkins are arranged on a series of tiered tables covered with green and purple tablecloths, placed against a bright green wall. Many of the pumpkins are painted with creative designs, including popular characters like the Grinch, Garfield, and an angry bird. Some pumpkins are painted black with white skeleton faces, while others are decorated with glitter, felt, and other craft materials. In the background, Halloween decorations hang from the ceiling, including bats and spiders. A 2 signS on the wall read "BEWARE OF MONSTERS" and "TRICK OR TREAT."
