🎃👻 HMS PUMPKIN CHALLENGE! 👻🎃

Calling all creative Hornets!

Hemphill Middle School is hosting a Pumpkin Decorating Challenge, and ALL middle school students are invited to participate!

Students received an entry form today during enrichment, so it’s time to start brainstorming those pumpkin masterpieces! 🎨🎃

🏆 Five Winning Categories:
🎃 Most Humorous
🎃 Best in Show
🎃 Most Original
🎃 Most Creative
🎃 Most Detailed

📅 Important Dates:
📝 Entry Forms Due: Friday, October 23rd
🎃 Pumpkin Drop-Off: Wednesday, October 28th, from 7:15–7:40 a.m. in the HMS foyer

🚫 No carving allowed! Pumpkins can be painted, decorated, dressed up, or transformed into just about anything! Just remember that decorations must be school-appropriate and the project should be mostly student-created.

🏅 Winners will receive a certificate AND a front-of-the-lunch-line pass for themselves and TWO friends for the entire month of November! 🍕🙌

We can’t wait to see what our Hornets come up with! Will your pumpkin be the funniest, the most creative, or the BEST IN SHOW? 👀

🐝💚 Let’s see that Hornet creativity shine!
