Each team selects a book and depicts characters from the book through pumpkin art. Judges from UISD and the community judge the projects. “At the start of October, teachers and faculty worked closely with students to help them develop their projects. The students look forward to this activity every year and demonstrate a great interest in books from different genres ”, said Alejandra Garza, school librarian.
