Students of the Dallas Intermedi-
ate School shared some of their
“treats” with the residents of the
Meadows Nursing Center this Hal-
loween holiday as what started with
a simple school decoration project
turned into a mission of love.
The story started with the full
contingent of 22 homerooms from
the Intermediate School involved a
pumpkin decoration competition.
The orange spheres, donated by the
Parent Teacher Organization, were
transformed through the creativity
of the student artists into much
more than the normal jagged-tooth
jack-o-lanterns.
There was a white feathered owl,
a one-eyed cyclops, a nurse, dim-
ples-the baby pumpkin, Merlin the
Magician, and a brightly colored
clown-just to name a few of the
pumpkin oddities. According to
School Principal, Mrs. Ruth Hus-
band, the students performed the
work during non-class hours, often
complete their project.
When all was finished, the school
was replete with all types of pump-
kins to celebrate the Halloween
festivities. However, that was not
nearly enough. The students decided
that they wished to share their work
with those who were not as fortun-
ate, who were ill or who might just
need a little uplift.
A representative group of the
unusual pumpkin family was trans-
ported by the School District to the
Meadows Nursing Center and
donated to become a very unique
part of its Halloween decorations.
as the residents, visitors, and staff
commented on not only the creativ-
ity but more importantly, the gener-
osity and thoughfulness of the stu-
dents.
