West Side Early Childhood Center and John Cline Elementary School recently hosted the Pumpkin Literacy Project.  Through generous funding from the Decorah Public Library and the Decorah FEC (Family, Educator, and Community Organization), they were able to create a school pumpkin patch. 

Students picked a pumpkin from the patch, read a favorite book, and then decorated their pumpkin to represent the book. Over 160 families chose to participate in this event.
