HES’s PBS Big Ticket Item this month was pumpkin painting! Students were able to purchase a ticket with their Cougar Cash to decorate their very own pumpkin. When they dry, they will get to take them home for Halloween! The end results were SO creative! A HUGE shoutout to the Rutledge family who donated the pumpkins for this fun event!
