When students at Doris Hoffman Early Learning Center couldn't make their annual trip to the pumpkin patch, the DHELC PTO brought the pumpkin patch to them! 🧡

Thanks to a generous donation from Harvest Moon Pumpkin Patch at Alt Farms, every DHELC student received a pumpkin to take home!

We are grateful for the incredible community partners who go above and beyond to create special memories for our students and bring a little extra fall magic to our schools.
