Pumpkin Patch Fun!! Hermitage Pre-K took a field trip to the Pumpkin Patch yesterday where students got to enjoy lots of fun activities such as rubber duck racing, the petting zoo, playing in the corn castle, going on a hayride, escaping a corn maze, playing on a huge ship and hay bales, watching a pig race enjoying a picnic in the sunshine and of course getting to pick out their very own pumpkin to take home. It was a fun day for these students!
