Old Macdonald and her farm animals

On Tuesday, October 31st, Spencer Elementary celebrated fall’s most fun day with pumpkin activities!

PUMPKIN DROP

That morning, our PTO did the honor of dropping our third and fourth grades’ engineered pumpkin packages from the rooftop to see if any could survive the drop.  The students worked in cooperative groups to create a cushioned contraption for the drop.  Out of the 33 pumpkin packages, only two groups’ pumpkins survived.  Congratulations to:

Team #1 – Kallie Kelly, Tyler Blosser, Hayden Callow, Easton Moss

Team #2 – Sylvia Williams, Pyper White, Zepplyn Taylor, Emmalynn Metz
