It is a wonderful feeling seeing parents fully involved with their students creating a pumpkin that will sit on their porches. Made at their school. Made with love and laughter and memories. For parent involvement to be most effective, it has to get into the home. Positive interactions with administration and teachers while families made their masterpieces were heard at each table. Truly a wonderful thing.

Pumpkin Carving Night
Wright City East Elementary School celebrated its Fifth Annual Pumpkin Carving Night and Pumpkin Glow with over 60 parents and students assembled into the cafeteria. The pungent odor of pumpkin was thick in the air, as pumpkins were gutted and charming and some scary, faces were carved from the shells.
