Third grader Aidan Shandler won funniest with "The Candy Corner"
Fourth grader Ainara Bouzas won spookiest for his "Hungry Monster" pumpkin
Fourth grader Sachi Goel won most creative for the "Tasty Treat"
Students and parents voted and the People's Choice went to Kindergarten/Fourth grade brother team of of Alvaro and Hayden Silva for their pumpkin "The Transformation."
