Pumpkin Palooza Brings Community Together in a Spooktacular Celebration

The annual Pumpkin Palooza hosted by the Parent-Teacher
Organization (PTO) was an overwhelming success, drawing families from all corners of the community for an evening filled with fun, festivities, and fall flavors. With an incredible turnout, the event saw a delightful mix of laughter and cheer as families gathered to celebrate the season. The buzz was palpable as attendees enjoyed a variety of offerings, including pumpkins, cider, and delicious donuts. However, the excitement was so high that by 7 PM, the PTO ran out of these beloved treats—a testament to the overwhelming support from families in the area. “The communication to the community was outstanding, and we couldn’t be more grateful for everyone who came out,” said teacher Staci Lann. “We want to extend a special thanks to Carly Fowler for her incredible face painting, which added an artistic touch to the night. And a huge shoutout to Drew’s Magic and Balloon Animals, run by Josh Allen’s brother, for the unbelievable balloon creations that captivated the children and adults alike.” The event would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of numerous volunteers who generously donated their time. “Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts,” the PTO representative added. “Without your support, we couldn't have pulled off such a wonderful night.” With the success of Pumpkin Palooza, the PTO is already looking forward to next year’s festivities, eager to build upon this year's success and continue fostering a strong sense of community. Thank you to everyone who participated—here's to many more fun-filled events to come!
