As a precautionary measure following PNM's notice of a potential power shutdown on Thursday, March 6 (due to high winds), Santa Fe Public Schools will implement the District’s inclement weather procedures and shift to a remote learning and work day. This will allow us to ensure the health and safety of all.
Additionally, we must comply with state-required instructional hours and avoid extending the school year beyond the scheduled final day of school.
Please ensure that students are prepared for remote learning tomorrow, and stay safe.

Storybook Pumpkin Contest
Atalaya Elementary School
October 15, 2024
StoryBook Pumpkin contest
My Favorite Book Character
The Atalaya Library is growing a Storybook Pumpkin Patch, and we need your help! Decorate a pumpkin to look like one of your favorite book characters, and bring it to the library to plant in our Storybook Pumpkin Patch!
No Carved or Cut Fresh Pumpkins Will Be Accepted
Think of your favorite book and design your pumpkin based on your favorite character from that book.
Purchase a craft or fresh pumpkin. Craft pumpkins work best. You can save it as a future decoration!
Gather your decorating supplies. Acrylic paints work best. Watercolors tend to run. Other options include adding materials such as yarn, buttons, wiggly eyes, etc.
If using a fresh pumpkin, decorate your pumpkin without carving, cutting, or poking holes in it.
Fill out the entry form on the back and return it with your pumpkin.
Bring your pumpkin and your entry form to the Storybook Pumpkin Patch (also known as your Library!) anytime between October 21st-October 28th. Pumpkins will be judged by staff on October 29th-30th. Winners will be announced on Thursday October 31st.
All Storybook Pumpkins may be taken home at the end of school on Thursday, October 31st. If your child needs assistance getting it home please make arrangements to do this.
Participation is completely voluntary. A Scholastic gift certificate for a free book will be awarded in each grade level to the most creative pumpkins in the patch! The Scholastic gift certificate can be redeemed during our Book Fair in November!
You may receive help from family members.
Have fun and be creative!
Please feel free to contact me with any questions!
Thank you!
