๐ŸŽƒ Pumpkin patch adventures have begun! ๐Ÿšœ
Last week, our 2nd and 3rd graders had an absolute blast at Staheli Family Farm! Between finding their way through the maze, visiting the animals, and picking out the perfect pumpkins, it was a day full of big smiles, fresh air, and autumn fun.

A huge thank you to our incredible teachers, chaperones, and the wonderful staff at Staheli Farm for hosting us and making this trip so memorable!

Ready, aim, PIE! ๐ŸŽฏ๐Ÿฅง

When hard work pays off, things get a little messy! One determined middle schooler saved up all their school class bank, and they claimed the top prize: a face full of whipped cream for the principal.

Huge props to the best sport of a principal anywhere.
