🎃🔬 Pumpkin Science in Action! 🍂🧡
Our 3rd and 4th grade ESL students in Mrs. Cobb and Mrs. Goad’s classes got hands-on with science as they dissected and labeled pumpkins! 🎃

Thank you, Cooper Steel, for investing in #students at East Side Elementary School by regularly visiting classrooms to read and model a love for reading.
