The GREAT PUMPKIN SALE and Fund-raiser for Renfroe Middle School and Glennwood Elementary has begun!  Pumpkins of all sizes and lots of exotics too! Weekends in October at Renfroe Middle School on College Ave. and Glennwood Elementary School on Ponce De Leon Ave.

Please support your school and buy a gorgeous pumpkin!

According to another note from the Renfroe PTA “Last year the sales raised thousands of dollars that went towards improving our children’s educational experiences.”

Just a day after I noticed a poster for this sale in town and thought “I really should post that!”, Laura writes in with the details.

Glennwood Academy’s Great Pumpkin Escapade

The Scots use turnips, the Irish use potatoes, and the Brits use beets, but we Americans use gorgeous, orange pumpkins to make our Jack O’lanterns! And thanks to Glennwood Academy’s annual pumpkin sale, you will have a wide variety of those magnificent fruits to choose from this year. Besides the traditional carving and pie pumpkins, our buyers also hope to bring you Cinderella, pump-ke-mon and jack-be-little pumpkins, as well as a variety of gourds, including elegant swan gourds.

This year’s sale begins Friday, October 17th on Glennwood’s campus, and continues through October 30th. The sale will also travel to the College Heights, Clairemont, Oakhurst and Winnona Park campuses for sales on Friday, October 17th and Friday, October 24th at their release times.
