The Pre-kindergarten classes of Capitol Hill Elementary celebrated fall with their first Playground Pumpkin Patch Day. This event was made possible by the generous donation of an assortment of 90 pumpkins from Under the Sun Nursery and Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market. The playground Pumpkin Patch was created and organized by the teaching teams of Cherry Mays, Silvia Smith, Ernestine James, Frances Cole and Kathy Duncan to provide the children with a hands-on experience to reinforce the week’s theme. Several parent volunteers joined in the day’s festivities, making the day a huge success. The day’s activities included hayrides, face painting, outdoor play, and of course choosing and painting a pumpkin to take home. The day ended with the viewing of the film Pumpkin Circle: The Story of a Garden written and directed by George Levenson. Both the children and the adults enjoyed themselves.
