WOW, I was right. October was busy and it flew by.
Career Day was great. The kids did a fantastic job telling about their
career choices and dressing the part. We had a nice variety of careers such
as the President, a chef, loan officer, marine animal trainer, Music teacher,
and Artist and many more.
Field Day was a fun filled day. The weather started out a bit chilly and wet
of course but the kids were troopers and we still had a blast. Thank you all
for your help that day. We sure looked sporty in our shirts.
Then of course our field trip to Elgin Christmas Tree Farm for a beautiful
day in the country filled with farm animals, pumpkins, games, picnic, and a
real hayride. Again, thank you so much to all who were able to come.
