I want to thank Mr. Geare and Mrs. Marshall for driving to and chaperoning our field trip last Friday. We had lots of fun at the pumpkin patch. The highlight was choosing a pumpkin to take home. The second grade class also received a large classroom pumpkin; one lucky second grader will win it on October 30.

 

Thank you also to all who donated money for the treat sale last Friday. The profit was $22.
