Just in time for Trick-or-Treat, the North Canton Middle School staff is holding the first-ever Staff Pumpkin Decorating Raffle to be held on Thursday, October 25.  Tickets are being sold in the NCMS Cafeteria during lunch times on October 23-25, at 3 for $1.00.  One ticket will be pulled for each decorated pumpkin on Thursday afternoon to determine the winner, who will then take the pumpkins home by Friday, October 26.

North Canton Middle School staff got pretty wacky when asked to decorate a pumpkin for the first-ever Staff Pumpkin Decorating Raffle this year.

Just look: The teachers, counselors and even Principal Margie McDougal concocted pumpkins that resemble Frankenstein, Jack Skellington from Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and a "boo-ling" pin. 

Staff sold tickets (three for $1) during lunch this week and will wrap up the raffle today.

Students will choose which pumpkin they'd like to win using the raffle tickets they bought this week. One ticket will be pulled for each decorated pumpkin this afternoon to determine the winner.

North Canton Patch wants to thank librarian Julie Burley (yep, the same Patch reader who submitted photos of teacher Troy Richardson dressed as a cheerleader) for uploading the pumpkin photos to our Pics & Clips gallery.

We know these pumpkins are going home with the North Canton Middle School students this week, but if you had it your way, which would you take home with you? Tell us in the comments.

I would want to win mine, obviously!
I painted the back with a scene from The Nightmare Before Christmas, which you can't see... AND it comes with some money to the movies!
I want to go see Frankenweenie!

I love that Jack Skellington pumpkin, Ashley. You did a great job. And the basket of fruit is pretty awesome, too.
