FROM CARREN JOYE
ACADEMY DAYS CO-OP
With a pumpkin decorated to look like the popular cat Garfield from Garfield Makes It Big, homeschooler Eliah Hall of Wetumpka wins “Best in Show” in the Book Character Pumpkin Contest at Academy Days Co-op recently.
Started by this year’s creative writing classes, the contest featured more than 20 pumpkins decorated to represent a book character. Charlotte’s Web was the most popular book with three entrants, followed by Harry Potter with two. Nine other homeschoolers ranging from kindergarten to high school received certificates and candy for winning in such categories as “Most Creative,” “Most Original” and “Funniest.”
Academy Days Co-op, held weekly during the school year at Eastmont Baptist Church, is designed for preschool through high school students to learn subjects difficult to teach at home or best taught in group settings. For more information about the co-op, visit www.academydays.com
