On Monday, October 23rd, ARES students ventured outside to our giant pumpkin patch created by PAC. Thanks to Wloka's Fruit stand, who donated a variety of 320 unique gourds, each student was able to personalize and name their pumpkin, which they chose from the selection scattered around the school yard. Together with their buddies, students used craft supplies to transform their gourd into a character of their own. Once their creations were complete, older buddies supported younger buddies in some writing tasks. Students had to think about their little critters and characterize them. Thanks to the PAC volunteers who supported this fun afternoon.
