Upper Sumas Elementary School's PAC transformed their field into a mini Pumpkin Patch for students yesterday! While the students were in class, the PAC set up 180 pumpkins, corn stalks and bails of hay. After recess, learning groups were invited out one at a time to pick a pumpkin, take photos and enjoy some apple juice. Pumpkins will be used in classes for crafts later this week before being sent home.
