Spaghetti Dinner - Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
We are so grateful for all the people who attended our annual spaghetti dinner! The donations totaled $2,727 which will go towards buying a new stove for the kitchen. Our current stove no longer works.
Thanks you to our amazing cooks, Marco Scalise, Kathleen Geraghty, Norm Goding, Melissa & Audrey McCormick, and Bob & Laura Martinez for cooking a delicious meal. A huge thank you to Bernie Lucero and Ms. Abby for suppling the outdoor cookers. Thank you to our incredible neighbors, Pam Leamons, Kelly Abbott, Heather Richter and Chelsea Sweeney for warming our bread in their home ovens.
Thank you also to King Soopers, Safeway, The Pink Balloon, our board, teachers and everyone who helped to make this year a wonderful success even without a working stove/oven.
We are so fortunate to be surrounded by an incredible community!

Our Giant Pumpkin
Last spring our classes planted a garden at our preschool. This fall our children have enjoyed cherry tomatoes, zucchini, and watching our giant pumpkin grow. Today, we finally needed to pick our pumpkin to save it from a future frost, it is 36 pounds!
Apple Tasting
Cindy, our parent helper cut small pieces of different varieties of apples for the children to taste. The children had a great time eating the apples and deciding which apples they liked the best.
