On the last Friday before Fall Break, Jackson Elementary kindergarteners got to visit their own pumpkin patch! Pumpkins were spread out in the park, and the students got to choose one to take home.

Students at Pine Grove Elementary attended a Fire Safety Assembly hosted by Amador Fire. Students got to interact with a firefighter in full gear so they wouldn't be scared if they ever have to be rescued by one. They asked him questions and learned about all of the pieces of equipment firefighters carry. They also got to see all of the tools on the firetruck!
