As the season of gratitude approaches, our school community is bursting with creativity and a thankful spirit! You'll notice an array of colorful turkeys and vibrant pumpkins popping up in art displays throughout the school department. These festive decorations are a wonderful reflection of our students' enthusiasm for the season and their artistic talents.

In addition to this beautiful turkey and pumpkin art display at Vine Street, we are excited to announce that we are working on a special "Balloons over Vine Street" video of the parade that took place today.
