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. ☀️ 🎃 🛝
