Kindergarten: In Search of the Great Pumpkin
Yesterday, kindergartners heard the story of the Great Pumpkin, a Graland legend about a magical creature who visits campus each fall. In the library, students sat attentively while Ann Deboe, PE teacher, read them the story and then they lined up to get the special orange dot on their earlobes that will enable them to see the Great Pumpkin -- IF they can find it today.

Guided by Athletic Director Bambi Mayo, they will follow the creature's trail of clues scattered around campus. In past years, kindergartners reported that the Great Pumpkin disappeared after leaving behind a pot of goodies for his special friends. This unique Graland tradition celebrates the fall season and allows children to create special memories as they learn how to solve the riddles of a scavenger hunt. Have fun, kindergartners!
