Hillcrest School District

The Lawrence County Cooperative Extension Service presented their pumpkin program to Hillcrest 6th graders on Tuesday and Wednesday. Students learned all kinds of fascinating pumpkin facts and estimated the number of seeds their pumpkins possibly had. They weighed their pumpkins, measured its height, and found their pumpkin's circumference. Finally, students got their hands dirty and counted the pumpkin seeds to see if their estimates were correct.
