Students in Mrs. Hobbin's 1st Grade Class were up to their elbows in a slippery, slimy math lesson yesterday.  

Students were presented with a large and small pumpkin.  Mrs. Hobbins began her lesson on estimation and counting by having students guess how many seeds were in each pumpkin.  Students then dug out the inside of the pumpkins and counted all the seeds.

Morgan from Mrs. Hobbins class said: "We got all the yucky stuff out and counted the seeds.  It was my favorite activity in school!"  

Students at Park were surprised with a special gift yesterday morning.  Jake Harward from Harward Farms delivered a pumkin to each student for Halloween.  Students lined the front of the school and one-by-one received a pumkin as Harward Farms workers unloaded the pumpkins from a flat bed truck.  Students' smiles were as wide as a jack-o'-lantern.

Zoeie from Mrs. Farrer's 3rd grade class presented a Thank You card to Jake and the Harward Farms crew.

We appreciate Harward Farms for bringing joy to Park students!
