On Monday October 17th and Tuesday, October 18th, the 2nd graders visited Golub's Pumpkin Farm in Manlius, NY. While visiting, the students pet many farm animals, as well as rode on a horse. After picking pumpkins, the students watched Mr. Golub launch a pumpkin with a catapult! They ended the trip by going through their bat shaped corn maze.
