Prairie Elementary kindergartners and first
graders were treated to a visit to a Pumpkin Patch in Culdesac. The
children were invited by Ralph and Karen Schwartz who also happened to
have some of their own grandchildren (that attend the Prairie schools)
visit the pumpkin patch. All of the children were thrilled when they
were able to go into the pumpkin patch and choose their very own pumpkins
right off of the vine. Picking their own pumpkins was the highlight
of the day! The students and teachers would like to thank Mr. and
Mrs. Schwartz for their very generous invitation and for the great pumpkins!!
The top photo is the first graders while the lower photo shows Kindergartners.

Kindergarten thru 4th grade went to visit the Schwartz
Pumpkin Patch. The children had a wonderful time. They were able to pick
their own pumpkins. A few of the children participated in an experiment
earlier in the year, where they scratched their names into green pumpkins,
they were able to see how their names had ‘grown’ and how the pumpkin had
turned orange. The children ran pumpkin relays, ate crisp apples right
out of the tree, and few tasted Asian pears! They all then ate doughnuts,
cupcakes and enjoyed a perfect fall afternoon at the Pumpkin Patch! Click
