2nd Grade went on their annual Fall field trip to Bandy’s Pumpkin Patch and then had a picnic at the Cobden soccer park. This Fall, the students have been learning about pumpkin life cycles and are soon going to be doing a fun science experiment with a pumpkin that they picked from Bandy’s. They also had a great time playing soccer in the sun at the park after their picnic. ☀️ 🎃 🛝

🎉 Today was a blast! Our students had a great time cheering on their teachers and staff during the Inflatable Costume Race! 🏃♂️🏃♀️ Watching everyone dash (and wobble!) across the gym in their giant, hilarious costumes had everyone laughing and having a fantastic time. 🤣
A big thank you to our staff for bringing the fun and showing that learning isn't the only thing we do well here—sometimes, we race in giant costumes too! 🎈🏆
Thank you Ms. Stephanie, Mrs. Allen, Mrs. Jerrell, Ms. Fabi, Mr. Pinnon, Mrs. Jackson, Mr. Shoemate, Mrs. Uribe, and ourAppleknocker man for racing!
