Happy Halloween

 Numerous members came together for a night of fun and pumpkin carving.  Through collaborative efforts and donations from local community members, students were given the opportunity to create and carve their own pumpkin creations.  Creations ranged from decorative pumpkins and pumpkin apparel to Jack-o-Lanterns.  A few local community members volunteered their time to judge the contest and present the winner with a gift card.
