Instead of sweets and treats this Halloween, a Great Pumpkin Run was held at Jacob Gunther Elementary School in North Bellmore this year.
The brainchild of phys.-ed. teacher Jim Mulvey, the run had the students in each class dash around a pumpkin patch set up in the gym during their recess period, and then pick out pumpkins.
An oversized pumpkin, "Jacob the Great Gunther Pumpkin," was on display in the lobby for a guess-the-weight contest. The student whose guess was closest took it home.
