JIT participants and staff show off their creative side
Nothing says October like Halloween Pumpkins. But there’s so much more you can do than carve scary faces into them. This week, JIT staff and alumni joined together to create Pumpkin succulents! Aren’t these the prettiest pumpkins you’ve ever seen?
“I had a blast making these. I didn’t get a pumpkin this year, so I am glad JIT got me into the spooky season with this fun craft! ”
-Just in Time staff & Participant
