Parents invited to autumn festivities

Our students take full advantage of all the fall season has to offer. On Oct. 12, they enjoyed a hayride around the RESA campus. Jen Egan arranged the event and the Sulkowski family supplied the tractor, wagon and straw. As always, Chuck Burge was our designated hayride driver. Though the wagon broke down, some students did get to enjoy a couple of laps around the buildings.

Several more events are planned later this month. Parents and guardians are invited to join their children for trick or treating and a walk through our "Haunted Garden" in the North Wing hallways on Oct. 23 from 10 a.m.–noon. Also on the 23rd is Family Fun Night from 6–8 p.m. Activities will include the Haunted Garden and the Monster Mash dance. Cider and donuts will be available. Donations of canned goods for the Salvation Army are requested at admission. All students must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
