We PACKED the gym AND cafeteria night last night with nearly 500 people at our first math and science pumpkin investigation night 🎃 Families went to our hallway “pumpkin patch” to get a pumpkin, then predicted and measured the height, weight, circumference, number of ribs, seed amount and if their pumpkin would sink or float. After all that hard work, families carved away and made some pretty creative designs and then helped us vote on the best Dodd Staff Team pumpkin-see post #2 later today to help us vote. Thank you to our staff for helping and our families for coming out to learn and have fun!
