Students in Mrs. Higgins' class investigated pumpkins yesterday. They made predictions whether they thought their pumpkin would sink or float, determined the weight of their pumpkin, measured the height of pumpkins using cubes, and measured the circumference using paper clips. The students then decorated their pumpkins for Fall.

This year the school will be hosting a Literacy Under the Lights event on October 4, 2022 (rain date of October 5, 2022) from 6-7:30 in Tiger Stadium.
