UP’s annual Pumpkin Day is on Friday, October 31st!

Pumpkin Day is a wonderful time for children to display their creativity, interests, and hobbies in the decoration of their pumpkin. There will be no judging contest- this is a fun opportunity for our students to showcase their imagination! We ask that the children do the decorating themselves. Please bring your pumpkin to school on the morning of Friday, October 31st. Pumpkin Day traditions include a class walk through the pumpkins, a parent reader dressed in costume, and a big family picnic!
