Monday, September 16, 2019—In preparation for the first "official" week of fall, kindergarten and first grade Atoms visited apple country, on a field trip to Navarino Orchard. Atoms had the luxury of not only picking apples, but they learned fun facts about this third generation orchard and farm. In addition to picking a handful of nice and juicy apples, they also devoured delicious cider donuts and apple bread that were baked to perfection. A perfect way to start off the school year.
