In celebration of Halloween, Tate’s held a spirit competition that involved a pumpkin contest for the Preschool, TK, and Kindergarten and a scarecrow making contest for the 1st thru 5th graders.  The judges had a difficult time choosing among the creative entries, and the results are in.

For the Greenhouse pumpkin contest, awards go to:

Mrs. Tracy’s class for “Most Traditional Halloween” – best creation of a Halloween character. (The Witch)

Mrs. Sarah’s class for “LOL!” – Most humorous. (Olaf)
