It was an evening of fun and friendship at Eastern Elementary School on Thursday as students, parents and community members gathered for the school’s annual Pumpkin Festival. Indoors and outdoors, the school campus was transformed for the night, offering food, games and activities of all varieties. The event was made possible through the combined efforts of EES staff, members of the Parent Teacher Organization and volunteers ranging from members of the community to Washington High School students. The Pumpkin Festival serves as one of the school’s largest fundraisers of the year, with all proceeds going back into the classroom to help teachers buy new equipment, technology, books and the supplies needed to help students succeed.
