The Apple Barn
The annual trip to the Apple Barn in Elkhorn
is one of the most anticipated field trips of
the year. Students counted down the days
until their visit to the apple orchard. After a
hayride to the orchard, students filled their
bags with Cortland apples, watched a video
about the life cycle of an apple, and enjoyed
an apple cider donut and juice. The reward
for good behavior was playtime on an antique
fire truck and in a tree maze. It just doesn’t
get any better than this!

Pumpkin Patch

Elementary students bundled up in their thick winter
coats, gloves, and hats for our annual trip to Skelly’s
Farm Market in Janesville. It was a blustery fall day,
but the students did not mind. They had only one
thing on their minds…PUMPKINS! The trip included
a trip through a corn maze, a tractor ride through the
pumpkin fields, a lesson in “pumpkin school,” and a
delicious pumpkin donut with apple cider. Students
could hardly wait to head out to the pumpkin patch to
choose the perfect pumpkin to take home.
