Our Halloween book drawing winners!

The Preschool students stopped by Mr. Loontjer's classroom to decorate pumpkins with the Seniors! A "gourd" time was had by all! You can check out their pumpkin masterpieces on display in the front lobby of the school. Thank you to Mrs. Garey and Mr. Loontjer for arranging this fun activity!
