Our Pre-K 4-year old Panthers had a farm-tastic Friday at Bartonfelder Farms! 🐄🎃🌽 Students spent the day exploring the wonders of the farm—painting their own pumpkins, winding through a kid-sized corn maze, and meeting some friendly barnyard animals up close! These hands-on experiences bring classroom learning to life and spark curiosity about the world around them. Thank you to Bartenfelder Farms for hosting such a fun and memorable adventure for our youngest learners! 🐾
