Utah inmates donate pumpkins to students with disabilities

For the 10th year in a row kids at Jordan Valley School, Canyon District’s school for students with severe disabilities in Midvale, got a special Halloween treat.

Utah State Prison inmates working through the prison’s Green Thumb Nursery program grew and donated the crop of around 200 pumpkins to the school on Wednesday.

School and prison corrections staff set up the pumpkin patch on the school’s front lawn, giving kids an opportunity to socialize with their classmates and a chance express some independence, as they made their selections for Halloween.
