Rogersville City School was abuzz with creativity and community spirit at this year’s Book Character Pumpkin Contest, hosted by RCS librarian, Kari Fields. Students were encouraged to put their artistic skills to work by transforming pumpkins into their favorite book characters, bringing beloved literary figures to life in festive, imaginative displays.

This year’s contest saw an impressive turnout, with entries showcasing characters from a wide range of genres, classics, and popular children's books.

“The creativity our students showed was remarkable. They really brought their favorite stories to life in such unique ways!”

Mrs. Fields

Winners were selected by the RCS staff and students, as well as by members of the Rogersville community at the annual RCS Fall Festival. Both young artists and their families celebrated as festival attendees admired the work, making this event not only a showcase of student talent but also a testament to the school’s strong community involvement.

The Book Character Pumpkin Contest exemplifies RCS’s commitment to fostering creativity and a love for reading among its students in this beloved fall tradition.
