UP’s annual Pumpkin Day is on Friday, October 30th!‍ ‍

Many thanks to PlainsCapital Bank for generously sponsoring this fun event for our families and Lawns of Dallas for the festive pumpkin display along Amherst Avenue.

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- it 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 30th. Each class will have a designated area outside to group their pumpkins. Pumpkin Day traditions include a class walk through the pumpkins, a parent reader dressed in costume, and a big family picnic!
