With Bonus Weekend starting Friday at noon, halloween was observed Thursday. Here's Sarah swinging a corn stalk at a hunk of pumpkin pitched by Charlie. This is a messy sport for the catcher.
A mild, sunny afternoon was perfect for a science field trip to nearby Philbrick-Cricenti Bog. Here, an ancient pond now supports immense mats of floating sphagnum and sedge.
Bonus weekend is a three-day break. With no games Saturday, Thursday afternoon was a good time for team community service projects. An undefeated girls varsity soccer team helped spruce up the pre-school, and enjoyed the slide.
The prospect of three days apart is enough to prompt emotional good-byes at the bus Friday at noon.
