The Great Sheckler Pumpkin Patch was harvested Sept. 25 by students in Mr. Evans’ second-grade class. More than 35 pumpkins were collected, and they will go on to decorate the hallways and classrooms of Sheckler Elementary School.

At the end of this season, seeds from these pumpkins will be collected to plant for next harvest.
