To celebrate the Halloween season and inspire students to get creative, John Street School hosted its annual Literary Character Pumpkin display.

Students of all grade levels were invited to transform a small or medium-sized pumpkin into a famous literary character from a book or play, such as Clifford, Harry Potter and Coraline. To incorporate a writing component, the students were asked to write a brief explanation of why they chose their particular character. Using paint, permanent markers, googly eyes and other arts supplies, the students’ pumpkin characters came to life.

The pumpkins will be on display in the school’s main lobby through Nov. 4.
