Every year, the Crenshaw classes compete in the pumpkin decorating contest. This year was equally as spell-binding as the rest. With judging categories being Most Glamorous, Spookiest and Silliest, it wasn’t difficult for the judges to rate 1st, 2nd and 3rd for each category. These students really put their hearts and souls into this project. And the Overall Winner was a unanimous choice.
