My advisory decorated pumpkins to take to the Duke Children’s Hospital. First, we ate lunch and then went back to our school. We each got a pumpkin and got a lot of things to decorate it with. We couldn’t carve the pumpkins because they would rot before Halloween. We went to the hospital, brought our pumpkins, and then they talked to us about their hospital. It was a really good experience and sad too because most of the children there are really sick. At the hospital they try to make the holidays as normal for the kids as they can so they don’t feel any different from other kids.
