In the spirit of Halloween, Mrs. Cripe’s senior advisory brought mini pumpkins to decorate. The room smelled of Sharpie markers and chatter filled the air. Hot glue guns were plugged into the wall, but after a few minutes the girls realized no one had brought buttons or glitter to glue onto the pumpkins. Despite this, by the end of the twenty minute period, each advisee was attached to her creation and walked out of the room with a smile on her face and a pumpkin in her hand.
