Our students enjoyed their very first field trip of the season to Tanaka Farms in Irvine. There they were treated to a hay ride through the vegetable gardens where they were welcomed to pick carrots, green onions, radishes and green beans. Of course they also wandered through the pumpkin patch choosing one from the vine to bring home! Once back at school, many of the classrooms used the freshly picked vegetables to make a wonderful homemade soup. The smell through the school was delightful and the children really enjoyed chipping in to help prepare the soup using their very own freshly picked vegies.
Our annual Book Fair and Fundraiser is in full swing. As you may know, this is an event that we do each year to raise money for books to donate to Toys For Tots during the holiday season. 100% of the proceeds earned are used to buy toys, books and other items for needy children right here in our own county. To date, we have donated close to 5,000 books. It’s doubly special because the children participate in the events. Our hope is that by introducing the students to giving at an early age will help start them on a life long journey of charity.
We are looking forward to our Halloween parade on October 31st at 10:00.
Everyone is welcome. Our older students will be performing songs for the Sea Country Senior Center that morning which is always fun for young and old alike.
