It’s the (Great Pumpkin) Painting Event, Atoms!

Friday, October 29th, 2021—It’s time for a fun fall ‘Flashback Friday,’ are you ready? In late October Utica Academy of Science junior senior high school students in the 7^th and 8^th grade were busy at work completing their benchmark exams, taking their school pictures, and were in need of a creative outlet. The teachers surprised the students with a fun, hands-on artistic fall activity of pumpkin painting! The weekend prior to the activity, teachers headed to a few pumpkin patches and picked 150 pumpkins for this fall activity.

On the Friday before Halloween, students headed to the cafeteria, rolled up their sleeves and put their creativity to the test decorating and painting pumpkins. Click here to visit our Facebook page to view more pictures from this event.
