Last week, there was a sunshine filled morning at West Union Elementary. Early Childhood Education juniors Natalee Workman, Marisa Moore, Leeann Osborne, Santana Stanfield and Annabelle Grooms helped unload over 100 pumpkins donated by Erwin Farms and Cornmaze. These pumpkins will be used for a "kindergarten pumpkin patch". Community involvement and collaboration with schools is so important and this is discussed within our early childhood classrooms. As always thanks to West Union Elementary and their staff for providing daily opportunities for our ECE students.
