Every year our small town has a festival like many city/ villages in Michigan to celebrate a specific fruit or vegetable. For us it's the fall pumpkin festival. Part of the festivities is that all of our elementary students decorate a pumpkin in one of 4 categories. While all the pumpkins get displayed on the courthouse lawn, the K-2 submissions aren't judged like the rest in a contest. This year due to Covid, the festival had to be canceled but we didn't want the kids to miss out on the tradition. One of the teacher's in our building has a farm that includes pumpkin fields so they donated hundreds so that the kids could still decorate them, they just had to be harvested. So a team of staff and their children, went out to the farm and collected the pumpkins to be delivered. It started out rainy but was an amazing day of fun together when gatherings were in short supply.
