The Pumpkin Patch

For the second year in a row, seventh and eighth grade students hosted a pumpkin patch “field trip” for the preschool. Student planted their seeds over the summer, and they tended to the garden from July to October. The pumpkins were grown to be picked by our 3- and 4-year-old friends. Students each wrote and illustrated an original storybook, and they decorated a pumpkin to display at the pumpkin patch. Adding costumes, music, a hayride and snacks made the experience a delight for all!
