Gourd big, or gourd home!
Ms. Spry’s Middle School Ag students had a fun pumpkin activity for Halloween yesterday! They learned about Michigan pumpkin facts and different pumpkin varieties, and held a Pumpkin Roll to measure who could roll the pumpkin the farthest.
Thank you for planning these fun and engaging activities for our students, Ms. Spry! You’re the pick of the pumpkin patch!
Our Middle School Honor Society students volunteered to help at the Weidman Elementary Warrior Party on Friday! They played carnival games and had some Halloween fun with the younger children! Many of these students also volunteered to run games at Weidman’s carnival that evening.
Thank you to Weidman Elementary for inviting our students to participate!
