Third-grade students got into the Halloween spirit by participating in a just-for-fun pumpkin chunkin' event this week. Girls were assigned to teams, given time to build and decorate a pumpkin catapult using supplies provided, then joined in a friendly competition.
Lower School P.E. teacher Nan Smith organizes on the annual activity, which gets girls outside and active, encourages them use their creativity and problem-solving skills, helps build relationships and teamwork, and celebrates the season.
