MEDINA – Scarlett Guild, Caitlyn Lewis and Scarlett Hosey hold pumpkins in a pumpkin [atch at Oak Orchard Primary School on Friday.

Some dedicated Medina school district staff were up very early Friday morning, setting up a pumpkin patch at the school.

Staff were out before school started, setting up the pumpkin patch.

Principal Jennifer Stearns and her volunteers spent a rainy morning decorating the lawn with pumpkins that were purchased from Student Activity fundraisers.

“We wanted to make it a fun day for our students in UPK through second grade,” she said.  “The students had a great time choosing their pumpkin with their classmates.  Everyone was able to bring home their pumpkin and some stickers to decorate them.”

Ginerva Boyle and Sophia Di Marco hold their pumpkins.

The students loved stepping out their school door into the festive field of orange and green.  They excitedly ran around until they found the perfect pumpkin and met the rest of their class back on the sidewalk. It was a great way to kick off their weekend and get them into the fall spirit!

This group includes teacher Kelsey Evoy and her class: Landon Stalker, Amanda Holmes, Bradley Dunham, Mikah MacDonald, Mila Rodriguez, Jack Pagano, Paul Haist, Vincent Grabowski-Bonadonna and Amoura Peterson. Students who are sitting down include Landon Harper, Jaxon Sloper, Kaleb McMullen, Reis Hougle, Adeline Grollmus, Teagan Volz, Harriet Schiffer, Deisy Orozco-Sanchez and Merrit Williams.
