13th Avenue Students Celebrate the Fall Harvest

 The Panther Pride garden hosted the youngest scholars at Thirteenth Avenue School for a Fall Harvest Festival.

Scholars taste tested yellow and red New Jersey Fresh apples and got to vote for their favorite.

Children sat on hay bales and listened to the story Pumpkin Circle by George Levenson. The story illustrates the dramatic development of seed to pumpkin. They also got to see green pumpkins growing on the vine in the garden.

 At the end of their visit, scholars were able to pick out their very own pumpkin to decorate.  

Thanks to Principal Mackey, Vice-principal Gilliam and the pre-K and Kindergarten teachers for sponsoring this second annual event.
