Fall Celebrations Hit New Low

Look carefully at the picture to the right. You know that our fall celebrations last Friday hit a new low when your principal is volunteering to openly humiliate himself in photographs such as this! This is a picture of the "Pumpkin Patch" created by one of our third grade teachers at MWS for students to enjoy photo-ops with at their celebration last Friday. What a fun way to enjoy all that fall has to offer our students!

In related news our second graders dressed in a variety of glorious costumes and proceeded to parade through the streets of Savage to the Senior Center where senior citizens marveled at this sight to behold. The second grade teachers reported that the seniors were delighted to be visited by such a spirited group of young students from MWS. What a wonderful way to enhance relationships throughout our community!

A pumpkin decorating contest also occurred last Friday within our DCD Program at MWS. Numerous students were involved in creating a variety of personalities on their pumpkins using any number of materials. When finished, students and staff alike voted to determine the winner of this contest. It was a difficult decision, but a consensus was reached and a winner determined!

Finally, our kindergartners ventured to the Minnesota Harvest Apple Orchard last Friday as well. Contrary to rumors spreading throughout the community, Mrs. Dybvig did not fall off of the wagon on her class's hay ride! Student were able to tour the facility, go on a ride, and of course, sample many different kinds of apples. Thanks to all of you who chaperoned this field trip. We appreciate your support!
