Keep on rolling!

Pumpkin fever rolled into Butler Catholic School on Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 8, when the school held its annual pumpkin rolling competition.

Teams of students and faculty pushed their decorated pumpkins down a wooden board, one against another, to find out whose would travel the farthest. Trophies were handed out to the winners.

The contest was formed during the COVID-19 pandemic and has since become a Butler Catholic tradition.
