Kindergarten Fall Festival
The 2nd annual Fall Festival was celebrated
this October in honor of the new autumn season.
Children and families participated in games, crafts,
stories and songs during the festival. The main event,
sponsored by the PTO, was the pumpkin patch.
Each student picked and painted their own pumpkins.
Harvest Time
Students in kindergarten and first grade dissected
pumpkins. Then they counted by tens to discover many seeds
were inside. They learned that sometimes the smallest pumpkin
can have the most seeds!

letters wishing them a Merry Christmas. As a Thank You
