Lac la Hache Elementary School students and staff had a fun afternoon enjoying a mixed feast of ghoulish sweets and healthy goodies for lunch, followed by a dance and pumpkin carving.
The students got to go home with their creations and a bag of goodies that even included a toothbrush to follow all the sweet treats they will be eating.
Principal Steve Carpenter says things are “crazy busy as always at the school.”
The breakfast program is going great with every Wednesday providing a hot meal thanks to Parents Advisory Council parent Bev Fry. There is also hot-lunch program is going every Thursday.
Carpenter says the Gavin Lake field trip was a huge success with all of the students learning a lot about forestry, camping, water science, archery and enjoying nature walks.
The students also made a lot of new friends, he adds.
