This month is full of Halloween excitement with such things as the Classroom Pumpkin Decorating Contest. We are trying something new this year with a Trunk-or-Treating

Event on the 24th where families can enter a trunk decorating contest. We have a Breakfast Buddies Buffet to look forward to as well as Fall Photos. Our most favorite

activity this month will be bringing dinosaurs to life! For one week we will convince the children that the toy dinosaurs come alive while they are away. We cannot wait! The

cooler weather has arrived, so be sure your child has the appropriate outdoor gear for outside time. Thank you and have a safe and thrilling Halloween/Harvest month!
