The Early Learning Center is having a pumpkin decorating contest! 🎃 Each room decorated their own pumpkin, with lots of help from the kids!
$1 = 1 vote.
The class with the most votes gets $$$ towards their classroom, and the rest goes towards fun activities for the kiddos at the ELC!
Pumpkins are displayed at Neodesha G & W.
