3rd Annual Jack-O’-Lantern Contest
Be Brave! Be Kind! Be Present!
It's time to bring out your creativity, imagination, and school spirit! Frank-in-Kind is calling on all Sacaton Elementary School District #18 students, teachers, and staff to participate in our 3rd Annual Jack-O’-Lantern Contest, held in conjunction with our 3rd Annual BE BRAVE Anti-Bully Boo Parade on Thursday, October 29, 2026!
This year's contest is about more than carving pumpkins. It's an opportunity to celebrate creativity, teamwork, courage, kindness, and the power of working together. Whether your pumpkin is frightening, funny, imaginative, or inspired by our District's Into the Future – The Future Changes When We Do! theme, we want to see what you can create!
Class prizes will be awarded in four exciting categories:
Best of Show: The most outstanding overall Jack-O’-Lantern creation.
Scariest of Show: The spookiest, creepiest, most frightfully creative pumpkin.
Most Creative: The most original, imaginative, and uniquely designed entry.
Funniest: The funniest Jack-O’-Lantern creation.
88 MPH – Into the Future Theme Award: The pumpkin that best represents our District's Into the Future – The Future Changes When We Do! mantra and the spirit of our 88 MPH Framework.

THE FUTURE CHANGES WHEN WE DO!
Our 88 MPH Framework reminds us that reaching our goals requires courage, perseverance, kindness, and a willingness to try something new. This contest is an opportunity to put those qualities into action!
You don't have to be a professional artist to participate. All you need is a little imagination, a willingness to try, and the courage to create something special. Work together, encourage one another, and remember that every great idea begins with someone willing to give it a try.
So, Sacaton Braves, get those creative engines running, reach 88 MPH, and show Frank-in-Kind what you've got!
BE BRAVE! BE KIND! BE PRESENT!
