Halloween Pumpkin Carving Contest Winners

Escola Americana is excited to announce the winners of our 2011 Halloween Pumpkin Carving Contest! Students 10 and older worked in groups October 19th and 20th to carve and decorate pumpkins with chosen materials from home. Sixteen groups participated in the contest and all of the students did a great job. Some pumpkins were scary, others funny, but all were fantastic! In November, students, teachers and parents were given the opportunity to vote for their favorite pumpkins and we had a wonderful turnout! As a reward, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners will get to choose between pizza and ice cream during the first week of regular classes in February! Halloween is one of the most anticipated holidays in the United States and we have a lot of fun bringing the customs - including pumpkin carving - to our students at Escola Americana each year. Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's contest. We look forward to carrying on the tradition again next year! Here are our winners...
