Barclay’s Annual Pumpkin Decorating Contest

To celebrate the fall season, Barclay Elementary School hosted its annual pumpkin decorating contest, bringing together creativity, literacy and school spirit. Each classroom decorated a pumpkin inspired by a favorite book character or literary theme, transforming ordinary pumpkins into imaginative works of art.

The decorated pumpkins were displayed in the Barclay library, where students, staff, and visitors had the opportunity to admire the creations and cast their votes for their favorites.

After the votes were counted, the Rare Dumpling pumpkin earned first place honors. We loved seeing the creativity and enthusiasm of all our students and classrooms. A big thank you to everyone who participated in this fun fall tradition!
