Fall Festival and November Happenings

Thank you to all Underhill families that donated Smartfood and Apple Juice for our fall festival snack! The day was full of fun and surprises. The children in Mrs. Salcito's class and Mrs. Newcomb's class enjoyed a visit from two witches who shared their recipe for witch's brew and gave them a live cooking class.
